I used O Holy Night for my sentiment, and Winter Woods for the pine branch and cardinal. My striped paper at the bottom is from the Pure Poppy & White Basics Paper Collection. A few red sequins on each card and I had 10 lovely cards ready to go, and with the insides done too! The hardest part of making these cards? Fussy cutting out the cardinals because I'm too cheap to buy the dies...and even that wasn't too hard! Yes, I am one of those who likes to fussy cut! :0)
Less than 7 weeks till Christmas, so this is a great challenge to play along with this week. Check out Laurie's great video and adorable card, and then play along! All the info you need can be found right HERE.
Thanks so much for stopping by today...I love it when you do! :0)
love this card- fabulous design and fussy cut cardinals ( wouldn't have known they weren't die cut)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card! I love your layout and that fantastic cardinal just pops!
ReplyDeleteA perfect '10'! I guess if you achieve a perfect card, why not duplicate it! And all in a couple of hours? Wow, (don't ask how long it took me), your fussy cutting is gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely set of Christmas cards, Marcia. Love the red stripe to compliment your red Cardinal.

ReplyDeleteYour wintery scene is amazing and the 'fussy cut' cardinal is absolutely beautiful, Marcia! The sentiment you chose is perfect too.
ReplyDeleteThis assembly line card making could be in my future :-)
These are beautiful Marcia!! I love the striped paper at the base of your card. Cardinals definitely sing "winter" to me.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how quickly they all came together??? These are beautiful! Gorgeous Red Cardinal--my most favorite bird evaaaah.....loving that strip of pretty red striped Designer Paper, your stamped greenery is beautiful, such a perfect and lovely sentiment and of course your red sequin accents. This adds up to all things pretty! Merry Merry!
ReplyDeleteWow, Marcia, you were really inspired! I'm loving the red, green and white scheme and your beautiful layout. And I STILL don't own O Holy Night. :(
ReplyDeleteLovely cards Marcia!
ReplyDeleteLess than 7 weeks till Christmas freaked me out. I was going to get my Christmas cards done early this year…for a change. Your red cardinal sitting on that pine branch looks so Christmasy, especially with your awesome sentiment. Great cards, Marcia!
