It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I Finally got some inspiration and motivation (at the same time) to make some Christmas Cards ..... cruising around the various Challenge blogs I follow and having a new toy to play with, certainly helped!

So, first up is a card inspired by a sketch on Freshly Made Sketches #515

I ended up not including a sentiment, as no matter which one I used, I didn't think it looked right.

LOTV digital image 'Jingle Owl the Way', printed & foiled, then hand coloured with Copics and embellished with Kindy Glitz/Stickles.  Mounted with 3D foam dots onto white cardstock embossed with Cuttlebug musical notes folder and Christmas DSP from my stash - all mounted on Red, Leathergrain cardstock.

Linking this card with As You Like it Challenge: Favourite Christmas Embellishment with my FAVE embellishment for anything really being the Kindy Glitz/Stickles. 

Next up, a card for Winter Wonderland - Anything Goes

This is a new 'circle flip' card base from Blue Edge Crafts (well new for me!)

'Tis the Season to Sparkle' foiled with green and placed on the circle opening, which just happened to fit the Spellbinders nesting circle dies I have !

Merry Christmas foiled in Red, cut out with Spellbinder circle dies, then mounted with double sided tape.  The Burgundy Bazzill cardstock on the front circle and the striped DSP I have had in my stash for absolutely AGES!  It is so good to use it up!

I was on a roll, so I made another one with the sentiments being flipped - Merry Christmas on the front, and Tis the Season to Sparkle on the inside - this time foiled with Gold (I think this is my fave :) ).

Linking these projects with:

NBUS #33 (never before used schtuff)  I have had these digital sentiments for quite a few years and now I have finally got around to using them!

Cut it Up Challenge #240 - Holiday cards

Well, that's it from me for now .......... more cards to come soon!
