Those intricate die cuts are stunning! Love your designs, perfectly layered and perfect colors! 🙂
thanks Amy, these dies are so fun to create with.
Bonjour Sandi,
I like the way you use the lagoon colour card stock. For me, it is not a Christmas colour, but, If I was in the Pacific Ocean island, I would use this colour. The Spellbinder die cut, and hot foil are very imaginative for creating beautiful card.
Merci Sandi for artistic creativity.
Yolande
Thanks Yolande, I get that not everyone likes a teal blue for Christmas cards, but it’s a color that we decorate our home with each year, so it is to me, LOL., along with pink and gold. We also have a tree in that color and I used to decorate my entire house in pink and gold before I got married.
Your cards are all beautiful; i really like a splash of gold metallic or even silver metallic with any color of purple….this foillooks addicting!
that sounds lovely Sue, I have a friend with Purple Christmas Decorations and her house looks amazing with them
I love these! Gorgeous colors!
thank you Natasha
Sandi. What a great start on Holiday cards. Love the slimline version.
thanks Marge, it’s good to start early
Love these non triditional colours but I am liking the soft pink with silver for a different look.
Thanks Judy, I love pink and Silver together too
