Hello there! I’m back again today with the PTI design team to share some quick and easy photo holiday cards. This is honestly the first time I’ve ever entertained the idea of making my own photo cards for the holidays. These dies and stamps make it so easy and really cute, too. I love the different looks you can get…from classy to playful to fit you holiday mood. My holiday mood is usually cranky, so playful is definitely a step up for me:)
This first card features the One Liner die. All I had to do was adhere my photo and die cut the sentiment. It can’t get much simpler than that, and isn’t it classy looking?
I used some glittered cardstock from a DCWV paper pack for the die cut. These are my girls. I caught them on a good day…all smiling at the same time. Miracles still happen, people.
This next card uses the Instant Photo Pull Out die. It was so easy to put together, and I really love how it looks…cheerful, playful and festive. It matches Emma’s personality to a tee.
There are several really fun coordinating sentiments to choose from in the coordinating stamp set. I embossed one on the front and also on the inside. Then I added a few enamel dots to finish it off.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Make sure and check out what the rest of the design team came up with, too!

Once I stop staring at your beautiful girls, I can see that your cards are gorgeous too! I really love that One Liner die, very elegant!
Fabulous projects, Laura! I think I need those word dies and am happy I didn’t get my Christmas photos printed yet!!
Your oldest daughter looks just like you!
Love how you used the glitter paper!. A great way to add an elegant touch with the One Liner die with little time spent.
Fabulous projects Laura! Thank you for sharing photos of your beautiful children!
You have such beautiful girls! LOVE both pics and both cards!
Wow….. both cards are amazing! Love the crisp and clean look of the first card and the beautiful colors on the second!
Gorgeous cards! Fabulous projects! I cannot wait to get my hands on those new dies, what a fabulous idea to be able to MAKE photo cards instead of buying them! I’m so excited that you are now on the PTI design team, BTW! 🙂

The simplicity of the one liner is awesome with your great photo!
They’re wonderful!! And they look so simple to make; hmm, maybe I should consider this this year!
What beautiful projects! And your kids are sooo cute!! 🙂
Absolutely lovely, Laura! YOur “girls” are beautiful, and just for the record, I really cannot imagine you cranky!
Both of your projects are just wonderful! The glittered die cut is the perfect accent for the black and white photo of your daughters ( who are all beautiful by the way). LOVE the bright colors on your pull out card!
So glad you’re designing for PTI! I had only discovered you a few short months before and was impressed by your style. I love that I’ll be able to see you put your style on the PTI products that I love so much.

Love the enamel dots that you used. They are perfect for the sentiment and add an extra level of color and perkiness to your card 🙂
Terrific photo cards! Cute girls! 🙂
I LOVE this Laura!! Yours is my favorite by far of all of the DT projects today! I love the colors you chose and how you used the enamel dots! Super cute!!
WELCOME Newbie. You’ve only been there a very short time but I have already fallen in love with your style. Keep it up!!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! I usually resort to Costco for our Christmas photo but you’ve inspired me to try something new this year! Now if I can only borrow your cute kids…..
Oh, Laura…this is such a fabulous project! I LOVE the photos of your girls…they are so beautiful! Your one liner die cut is gorgeous in glittered cardstock and the photo pull out card is perfect for Emma’s pic! I love the colors you chose for your cards, too! You have really showcased these new PTI stamps and dies beautifully!
These are so pretty. Your girls are really adorable too. Love the one liners. Simple is what I do best during the holidays.
I love how the slide out card looks! Have a laugh at your comments1
Beautiful kids and beautiful inspiration! You NAILED it, Laura!
Yummy cards!
You made me laugh with the comment about usually being cranky at Christmas. My friend refers to the holidays as the “hellidays” because of the potential for stress and family drama. Thanks for making me laugh and for inspiring me with your beautiful cards! Great idea to use glittered cardstock for the one liners! Have a great weekend!
This could SO simplify my Christmas Card making this year!
Super sweet laura! You are doing a great job inspiring on your first release!
Laura these are awesome and the best part is that I think they are totally doable…especially with that one-liner die. I just might make our cards this year…it would be a first. (P.S. I’m still chuckling about your cranky holiday mood comment.)
Loved the photo cards. I like the addition of the color dots to the sentiment.
These are seriously awesome! The little pocket one is my favourite from all the DT samples! And the photo card is simple perfection too! I *knew* you would rock this gig Laura!! 🙂
Had to chuckle at your comment about your beautiful girls all smiling at once. We tried for years to get all my son’s cousins to do a group Thanksgiving photo. Impossible to get everyone smiling together, looking at the camera, with no funny faces. Then again, I think my brothers and I were just as bad. I think one year my Dad had us reduced to tears trying to get a Christmas photo taken. Which is why that single photo in the need slider pouch is such a great idea. Love it. Love the Joy diecut, too. Neat effect.
