finally...some Christmas cards!

Yes, it's been a while since I posted.  What can I say...life is busy!
Here's a couple of Christmas cards I've been working on.  I'm pleased to say all my cards are in the post!  First time ever before December 1st.  So, you might be the lucky recipient of one of these!

This is such a pretty card in real life.
Pool Party cardstock, Silver glimmer paper and white.
The stamp set is EVERGREEN with that lovely 2 step tree image.
I also used the matching Pool Party ribbon and brad.
The base card is embossed with the Lacy Brocade embossing folder from the Christmas mini.
I also used the Labels framelits and the Modern label punch.
The greeting is from the very useful FOR MY FAMILY stamp set.


This card uses the same stamp set, EVERGREEN, but this time with more traditional colours.
The base card is Early Expresso and the emossed piece is Cherry Cobbler (embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder.  The DSP is from the very elegant Candlelight Christmas pack.
This time I've used the Champagne glimmer paper and cut it with the Tasteful trim die to create a lovely sparkly edge.

I stamped my tree in Gumball Green then overstamped the outline image with Versamark and Gold embossed it.  The greeting is from PERFECT PUNCHES, punched with the scallop circle punch and layered to give it dimension.  A bit of bling was added with the Champagne glimmer paper.
The base of the tree was created with the Cupcake punch.

I used the Apothecary Accents die for the tree image.

OK, one more with this set!


This one is similar colours, but this time with Platinum Paint over the Gumball Green tree.
The DSP is again from Candlelight Christmas.  Some tiny tags and Bakers twine accents added to this one.

Hope you like my cards!  You never know, one might be coming your way!
