I made two Christmas cards to share for today. This first card uses the newly released Merry & Bright, Holiday Greetings, and Peace on Earth. I also used Scroll Plain Jane and Scroll Cut Above and From the Heart dies. I combined some Simple Stories Homemade Holiday designer papers. I added some ink distressed corrugated cardboard and a few tiny gold pearls. I finished with a seam binding bow. I am using this week's Mojo Sketch 266.
As always thanks so much for stopping by! Enjoy the hop! Next up is the super talented Jen d.'s Blog.

For my second card, I chose to go for a more CAS styled Christmas card. I am using Verve's newly released Joy to the World Plain Jane along with Making a Statement and Verve's Cut Above Tag Rectangle and Classy Label dies. Again, I used some more of the Simple Stories Homemade Holidays designer papers. I finished with a seam binding bow topped with a chunky metallic gold pearl. I am using Retro Sketches #36.
