So this is my start on Christmas Cards I hope they have given you some ideas. Now it is time to hop on over to Gail's
good job on your cards, Kath!!
ReplyDeleteLove the clean look of all your projects - and then, on closer inspection, all the details appear.
ReplyDeleteGreat selection of cards, Kath! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThose lucky people on your Christmas card list!!! Amazing and colorful - every one!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kath, I loved all your wonderful creations. I love the way you've kept the ornament card to just the white and Cherry Cobbler. It is striking! The sanded Core'dinations is a wonderful effect, almost adding another colour to the mix. I can just imagine how your ornament must sparkle. Is there anything more sparkly than Dazzling Diamonds? And from the red and white we go to the blues and white of your next card. I love the simplicity of the embossing and the banners. The touch of Designer Paper really makes it pop. And then there is Santa checking his list. I love that stamp set! I really like the cut-out in the embossed cardstock--it spotlights Santa beautifully. Thank you so much for being part of the Blog Hop.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas for those of who need to finish making our Christmas cards. Love your cards and all the little details.
ReplyDeleteKath I love the dazzle on the ornament. I'm going to get out my c.c. Core'dinations cardstock and use that e.f. I almost forgot I had it! Yours turned out so well.
ReplyDeleteKath, your cards are fabulous! I am so slow to get going on mine, but now I can use some of your ideas to help me along. The blog hop is wonderful, again, and you all are so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! TFS!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are beautiful, Kath. I love them all!
