Using one of my favorite stamp sets from this year at The Greetery, I made this card using the stamp & stencil combo called Winterberry Bouquet...
I'm not usually much of a blue fan, but have to admit I like the blue berries on this one! I used an older snowflake embossing folder from SU! (Winter Snow) for part of my background and also the Cathedral Die from The Greetery. I love a white on white look!!
My sentiment is foiled in silver (another one of my new loves this year!!) using Perfect Sentiments: Holiday from PFS.
And because I had everything out and the Christmas Kickstart Challenge is looking for "Anything Christmassy", I made another card using the same Winterberry Bouquet stamp and stencil set and just changed up the colors!
I did another white on white background using The Greetery's Inside & Out Berry Branch die, and then added the Winterberry Bouquet over top.
My foiled sentiment on this card is gold and from the same PFS set as the previous card. I also added a few white crystal gems (PFS) to finish off this card.
So all my cards are sent out and now I'm getting ready for Sunday when we will celebrate Christmas with all 3 of our daughters and grandkids and my mom. Then next week I'll be free to play with whatever stamp set I feel like. Will it still be Christmas?? I love making Christmas cards all year long, and nothing wrong with getting a head start on next years cards, so we'll see...you'll just have to stay tuned! :0)
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

I don't use blue much either, Marcia but I agree those berries do look lovely all done up in blue! Those red berries with the lush green leaves are my favorite though! Two marvelous cards. Have a wonderful Christmas celebration with your family!
Two beautiful cards. Love the blue berries and also the red berries. TFS
Merry Christmas and a Happy & Healthy New Year.
The blue berries look contemporary and fabulous Marcia. Both cards look wonderful and loving the 'white' backgrounds with the die cuts and the embossing on the first x. The foiling looks so pretty too. Have a fun and memorable time with the family Marcia x.
You know how I feel about blue - but blue berries?? Yes, Please and thank you! You've used these Winterberries so beautifully on both cards, Marcia, and the supporting characters are perfect!
Why oh why didn't I cut some of those cathedral windows?? Let's trade for the Santas?

So pretty, loving the white on white with the pops of color.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing with us at Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge.
So fresh and so pretty Marcia! You have brought a little bit of Spring into winter this morning, thank you
These are both gorgeous Marcia!!
I prefer red berries to blueberries unless I'm eating them for breakfast, Marcia. lol They both look great on your cards though and really stand out against the all white backgrounds with plenty of texture and dimension. Have a fabulous time with the famly.
I love these berries in blue and in red! The white on white backgrounds are so perfect to show the berries off! Enjoy your girls and grands!
OH WOW ... these are gorgeous Marcia! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Peace On Earth Christmas challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often. We appreciate your support on our new challenge adventure!!
