Sincere Christmas Greetings

Good Morning!
I just wanted to start by saying how lovely it has been to read the comments left on my recent cards, I really do appreciate every single one of them that is left :)

Today's card is back to using another of the images in my stash by Maja Design, in fact the next couple of creations that I will be sharing are using their images. Can you tell I have little bit of a fondness for them? You'll notice that I don't like to embellish them too much either as I don't want to make the overall design 'too busy'.

Lili of the Valley Design Team - A Trio of Pugs!

 Good Morning!

I've still got a few more Christmassy creations left to share with you so I'm trying to get them all squeezed in before the big day, I can't believe it's less than a week away!

As you will know I haven't had time to make as many of my usual layered cards this year so when I was sending out my Christmas cards I made a few which were of a more C&S style. I do enjoy switching between the two styles as it's always fun to mix things up a little bit!

Today's post is sharing a trio of cards that I made using some pre-coloured images from LOTV, perfect for this style of crafting. 

I kept it simple by mounting them onto cardstock before adding to a 3x3 card blank and then finishing them off with some embellishments.

These designs can be bought as Digi's or Simply Prints if you click HERE.

A little later posting than planned but here's another Christmas card for you.

Merry Christmas

             Good Morning!
Today I have a Christmas card to share with you all that has a slightly masculine feel to it.
As you all will probably know by now my favourite design paper brand is Maja Design and in their packs they always have a sheet which includes a set of pictures. Usually I try to resist using them because I love the designs so much but I decide to bite the bullet and finally use some on some cards this year lol 
Today's card is using one of those!

Lili of the Valley Design Team - Twinkling Star

            Good Morning!

Yes I'm still enjoying my gold theme but as you can see it's been jazzed up with some red on today's card lol. The stamp I've used is another older design by LOTV called 'Twinkling Star' and I've also used the shabby embossing powder again too on the main image.
The sentiment I've used is actually from the bottom edge border strip that goes along the bottom of 12x12 sheets, the sentiment was repeated 4 times and the perfect size to be cut up and used on cards!

           Good Morning!
Here's another card form me continuing with the Gold theme however this time I added a little bit of silver too. The stamp I've used is another older design by LOTV called 'Christmas Delivery'. 
You might spot as well on the cards that I've used the colour Gold on that I've also used a different embossing powder for the snow effect, the shabby white one which I've used today also has speckles of gold embossing powder and glitter in it too.
