I absolutely love Christmas time and have been looking forward to it since October. When my dear friend's mother asked me to design a Christmas card for her to send out as well as an invitation for a Christmas party they are having I was ecstatic. What a fun project to do, especially since I have already been in the spirit of the season! I decided to make the invitation an insert so it would be easy for her to invite all the people she needed to without sending them two different cards. Their family, although entirely American, is very european in many ways so I tried to convey an almost British feel to the card. The aesthetic is of a 40s or 50s Christmas card - which keeps the Christmas feel classic rather than a mess of consumerism and overspending. The photo on the front is actually their house during a rare snow we had in Birmingham last year which gives extra meaning to the phrase 'there's no place like home for the holidays' - which I whole-heartedly agree with. Cheers and Happy Holidays!
