Christmas Cards
I had a couple ideas for a card to enter Winnie & Walter Rerun No. 25. Finally last night I sat down & made a card based on Lydia's Wreath card which I loved the second I saw it. I started with a panel of wc paper that had been spritzed with a gold mist & never used.
I made a wreath using images from W&W In Bloom: Frenchy's Festive Florals. The inks are Brilliance Pearlescent Ivy, Pearlescent Thyme & Pearlescent Poppy. The gold strip & tiny bursts are done with Delicata Golden Glitz. I gold heat embossed the sentiment twice for a more solid shine. Stickles Christmas Red & Golden Rod add some sparkle--hard to see in the photo. The strip of printed paper was a left over scrap from a card you'll see soon. Love having a flat card for mailing that I really like. I'm also entering Rudolph Days & AAA Cards.

Thought it'd be fun to make it into a Christmas card by using red Heidi Swapp glitter tape behind the openings. I used Stickles Holly on the leaves for a bit of green.
The sentiment is also SSS & cut from the tape plus white cardstock for the shadow. I'm also entering HLS Anything Goes with Dies and The Snippets Playground. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.

Now this is a pretty pair of cards!! I like the peppermint stripes and your wispy wreath on your first card and those fabulous sparkly flowers on your second!
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous holiday cards, Greta! Just love the wreath running off the page on card one & the glittery flowers on card two!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet wreath card, Greta. Lovely and CAS. Thanks for playing along at AAA Cards Clean and Simple Christmas card challenge.
ReplyDeleteTotal Fabulous!, Greta! Thanks for always stopping by to tell me about the winning! : )
ReplyDeleteSorry it is taking me so long to get round to all the entries. I am slogging through slowly yet surely. The antivirals are taking the edge off so I am feeling somewhat better.
ReplyDeleteYou did leave a comment earlier but I do not post them till I have replied to each and every one!
Loving this pretty wreath and especially love the offcentered look of it The stripey strip on the right is so cool!
Thanks for taking part in the November Rudolph Days Challenge.
Me again...I do not see your card linked up to the challenge. I think it is probably because I was so late putting up the challenge post this month.
ReplyDeleteCan you add it so you can be in the prize draw?
Thanks, Greta.

Such pretty cards Greta! Love the little wreath and sparkly red flower!
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely cards. I love the candy cane stripe on your first card and the sparkle tape is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeletelove the peppermint stripes on your first card with wreath off on one side rather than the middle - gorgeous glittery flowers in the second one!
ReplyDeletebeautiful set of Christmas cards, greta!! the wreath on the first one is just so sweet!! clever to use the outline flower to create a Christmas card!
ReplyDeleteLove your offset wreath, so delicate and wispy. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards.
ReplyDeleteI love both cards Greta! The Christmas wreath is so pretty and your snippets card is totally striking. SSS do some fabulous dies I think, but our problem is that our Customs 'Police' just love to pounce and charge import duty - as well as us also having to also pay a premium amount to the Post Office who hold the parcel until duty is paid.

Two beauts, Greta, but I really love the simple wreath. The strip of candy cane down the edge is a great touch.
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely cards Greta. I love the strip of striped red next to the gold on your wreath card. Adds a touch of glamour and the sparkly red flower is a standout on the black. Love your work. I have cards to make today and I'm thinking to adopt your lovely edge on the wreath card. Hmm - I hope that's OK?
ReplyDeleteFantastic snippets and shimmery cards, Greta! I especially love that wreath!! Hugs, Darnell
