Christmas Cards with Decorative Papers

By
It's 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown time once more and this week Mynnette has chosen the challenge. She wants us to add Decorative Papers as an Embellishment.
For my first card I have made some little Christmas trees. They were die-cut on my Cuttlebug using a nesting Bunting Die (Papermania). I attached them together so that although they stand out from the card they can also fold flat for posting - take a look



I have used more of my Christmas Wishes DSP as it seems to be going on forever!!! and I have added a sentiment with a Hero Arts stamp.

My second card is somewhat different - I had an idea in my head but it didn't come out as I expected. It's very clean and simple in appearance - what do you think?



Again using my DSP I made some rosette flowers but only half  and I made them to decrease in size - hopefully to look like a Christmas tree shape.
Actually although it looks very CAS it took AGES to make !! - that'll teach me to have crazy ideas!!
Please pop over to the blog to take a look and please also go and say 'hi' to my partner in crime Mynnette as she would love to see you too - Jacqueline xx

    Hi, Jacqueline!!! These are AMAZING--what fabulous folds with your DSP! May I combine the two and create a new card for another 52CCT challenge? I had an idea pop into my head when I saw these! :) Hope all went well this weekend with your parents. {{{HUGS}}}

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...
