A few more Christmas cards

I am doing quite well this year thanks to challenges, well ahead with the stash of cards I need ready for the festive season. Here are a few more I have made this week, I have been trying to use up last years Christmas papers before buying any more. I haven't succeeded and have succumbed to two new collections, both Kraft based.

 After every Christmas creating season, I look at my array of stamps and dies and think I can't possibly need anything else. However, another year rolls around and the companies come out with their new catalogues and I can't resist buying more. This wreath is one of my new faves along with the stars die on the card below.

Here is one of the new papers I couldn't say "no" to, it is from SU's Under the Tree set.

A couple of Christmas cards

This was a nice, quick and easy card to make, using paper from the new Stampin' Up! Christmas catalogue. The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted stamps.

More Stampin' Up! paper for the centre of the bauble as well as one of last years sentiment stamps.

Memory box dies: Bauble and pine border
Marianne's dies: Solid pine leaf

New Memory box dies

Having a play with some of the new dies I have purchased lately.

My favourite has to be this Beloved Stars die, it is just so pretty.I have used it twice here, along with the Cabrini Ornament which I inset in the card front and backed with paper from Stampin' Up!.

This is the Lamp Post die. I cut it twice, once in brown and again in white. I layered the two die cuts up to imitate fallen snow and then added glitter. I have hidden the base of the die with more snow to provide a space for the sentiment. The little bird, stocking and sentiment are from a Papertrey Ink stamps and the mouse is from Penny Black.

Mostly White

I have entered this card for the Festive Friday challenge No 36. The challenge is to make a Christmas card that is mostly white. Here is my card.

The card below is one I made to enter the Merry Monday Challenge using sequins. I didn't get around to photographing it and uploading it in time. I finally got around to it yesterday whilst photographing the one above so I thought I would share it.
