Aaack! December's here! I need to start doubling down on my Christmas cards this week! I decided to use this sketch from Iwona Palamountain that was posted on the Waltzingmouse Stamps sketch challenge this weekend. Here are two cards. This one is a traditional A2 size:
I got a little fancy and frosty with this one.
{Today's Brew: Sewing Box Christmas (WMS), always artichoke/bravo burgundy card stock from SU, versafine onyx ink, Picket Fence Distress Stain, Mister Huey calico white mist, glitter card stock, paper from Simple Stories Handmade Holiday, corner rounder punch}
I decided to keep the next card a little more simple. This card is a square 4 1/2 by 4 1/2 size...still fits in your standard envelope and doesn't need extra postage!
{Today's Brew: Sewing Box Cristmas (WMS), PTI Rustic white card stock, bravo burgundy card stock (SU), Bravo Burgundy/Old Olive ink from SU, amuse twinkle, paper from Simple Stories Handmade Holiday, corner rounder punch}
Happy Monday, cafe friends!
Lovely cards!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards. Simple yet very elegant. BTW I love the Christmas atmosphere of your blog
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are just super!
ReplyDeleteThat frosting technique looks so good! I really like the muted colors. Great cards, MR!
ReplyDeleteBoth of your cards are amazing...the first one is so fun and festive, love that sewing box set.
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful cards using the WMS sketch! love the holly and snowflake stampings!
ReplyDeleteI love them both and I think they both are kinda on the CAS side … very pretty, and elegant. Love the snow falling on your blog and your sweet dog in the snow.
ReplyDeleteEEK! Marybeth, I see that Saltbox is coming back! So excited to see that!! Looks like digital images, but I've hung on to all of my stamp sets from before. I have quite a few:) Can't wait to see what you make! These WMS cards are so country sweet...love how the first one looks like it's coated with snow. The paper on the second is a perfect match for the Sewing Box snowflake! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeletePS...Your dog is an identical twin to our black lab Olive! :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm back. You had a RECIPE published in a Gooseberry Patch cookbook?! I seriously think that we were separated at birth, LOL!!
ReplyDeleteI think so, too, Kelly! LOL! I thought of you when we discussed bringing back the Saltbox images...I know you loved them as much as I did! :)
DeleteVery nice Xmas cards!!
ReplyDeleteLove from Holland.
Wonderful Xmas cards...love the stamp set!!
ReplyDeleteWow! I don't know which is my favorite of the two cards...so I choose both! The first card has such a wonderful inked edging. I love the snowy detail. And the second card is so soft and peaceful with the use of white space. Just lovely.
