Xmas Cards?

I wanted to just make a few cards today and play

which I haven't done for awhile and as I picked up papers 

close to me I ended up today with 2 christmas cards! LOL!

I guess if you go where inspiration leads you-- you never

know what you may end up with!

So today my first card is with one of the prettiest dies

out from Spellbinders called Venetian Motifs S5-119.

 I love the intricate design of this die and with all the tiny 

pieces you can really have fun and create something gorgeous.

For me this seemed perfect to create an ornament adding a

little bit of our silver foil and a few tiny pearls and ribbon.  I used the 

new Card Creator Rectangles to make an embossed backround

for my card and layered the die and added a pretty white bow

onto the top of the ornament.  I don't think my picture really does

this justice but I think this might be in the running for my cards this year.  

The stamp I used is from Penny Black (Christmas Cheer) 

and it's wonderful set because it has so many sentiments to chose from.

My next card was quick and simple and is from

a Christmas Kaisercraft  mini pad of paper.  The patterns are

super cute and it even has tags and borders in the back!  Sometimes

that can be a gift if you are wanting to make something quick!

One of my favorite dies is Spellbinders Lacey Oval and it

was perfect to frame this sentiment in. The rest I just

layered the borders and added a couple of ribbons

tied in a bow and added a couple of stick pins to make it glisten.  

Thanks so much for stopping over today and I 

have lots more to share so be sure and stop back soon.

Hugs and Smiles!
