This week our theme is CAS Christmas, and the Design Team are using products from Memory Box. They make the most gorgeous detailed dies - I was lucky to snag a pretty wreath die called Catalina Wreath. Here are 2 cards I made using it.
supplies: red and green cardstocks, My Mind's Eye My Story patterned paper, Catalina Wreath, cut 3 times, 2 greens and a red, Simon's Christmas Blessings die, gold foil paper, gold sequins
This next one is not at all Clean and Simple, but I thought this patterned paper in the background went so nicely with it, I shared it with you anyway. Love the country look of it! I paper-pieced the flowers onto the green wreath, and added little white pearls in their centers to mimic the flowers in the paper, then popped the whole wreath up above the card surface to help it stand out a little more. I paired it with one of my most favorite Christmas sentiment sets from Hero Arts, now sadly discontinued. The dotted letters just seem to go along with the whole style of the card.
supplies: white, red, and green cardstock, Catalina Wreath, cut in green and red and paper-pieced, white pearls, Simple Stories Cozy Christmas patterned paper, Hero Arts Miracle of the Holidays, and Red Royal ink

totally awesome Lin. You are so right about the PP on your second card. It is prefect! Thanks for being so inspiring.
Beautiful cards Lin! They are both so pretty and I've just realised I have that die!!! I never liked it on my cards when I tried it but you have made it look so pretty that I want to give it another try now :)
