Now that the Christmas cards are done, I was going through a stack of unopened mail and found my nephew’s wedding invitation. Oh no! I forgot to make and mail him a card. 
Etiquette says you can send wedding cards/gifts for up to a year after the wedding? Well I’m making that deadline by 11 months! 
Good grief.
As always, I tried to use the invitation as inspiration for the card.
One of my all time favorite Martha Stewart punches is this “Crown” Border. Did you know that right now, while they last, Ellen Hutson’s store has almost ALL of the Martha Stewart punches at 50% off!! If you’ve ever wanted one of these awesome punches, now is the time to check out what’s available there.
Happy Holidays to you!!

Lovely take on the invitation theme! And super duper thanks for the info about the ‘one year’!! I have a card on my desk that’s *******months late!! So very glad to know it’s still ‘proper’ to send it! =)
Hey, I go by the one year limit on almost everything! Works for me!!! I am such a late lizzie! Cool card…love the punch with the bling..very pretty!
Yikes!!! I thought I was the only one who did things like that. 😉 Awesome card Susan.
Your card is just lovely, and even though it’s late, I’m sure they’re going to cherish it. Better late than forgotten, right? 🙂
So Elegant, love the gems with that punch!
I love how your card matches the wedding invitation, Susan. I am sure the newlyweds will love it!
Wow! Stunning card, Susan! Love the rhinestones here!
It is never late to send a wedding card, especially this beauty!
I totally love the yellow rhinestones on the DP! Great colours – great card!
So elegant, Susan! Spectacular clean, uncluttered design. Thanks for reminding me about this border punch. Time for me to blow off the dust and put it to use!
I hope you and your family have a wonderful and blessed Christmas season.
I don’t even want to know what’s buried on MY desk! Lovely card!
So BEAUTIFUL Susan!!~
I love the crown punch you used, the papers, the bling under the punched border. The card looks gorgeous!
Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year!
Hugs and smiles
