Jingle Belles and NBUS #83

There is a fun mid-century modern photo to inspire us over at Jingle Belles.  I took the opportunity to use a NBUS Santa die so my card will go there too.

St. Nick was on sale at Spellbinders and I had to have him although I didn't realize at the time that he doesn't fit on an A2 card.  No problem.  I like making Monarch cards (3 5/8 by 7 1/4) and have the envelopes to fit.  Except for the C9 Cranberry everything is from scraps.  The background is the HexSnowflake folder from SB.  I must admit I had to watch a video to see how to put him together and I'm glad I did because she had some good tips. 

Thanks for dropping by and spending a bit of your day with me.

The Paper Players #757

I was playing around with the Doves dies from Honey Bee and ended up with three cards.  Two of them  fit the bill at The Paper Players this week.  This is the one I sent to their gallery.

This was actually the third one I made and wanted something different in the background.  The DSP is from TH and embossed with the Hex Snowflake folder from Spellbinders.  The gold embossed sentiment is from PFS.   I might as well show you the other two. 

Another patterned paper from TH was cut with Honey Bee's scallops.  The PFS sentiment is embossed in silver.

Same paper as above but a different version of the dove.  The frame is from PTI with another PFS sentiment. 

Three more Christmas cards added to my stash.  Yahoo!
