  12. Striking yet simple cards. By this point with Christmas cards, I find "less is more". Seems like you are making such good use of the UFO box. Stay Merry.

  14. Bonnie, I LOVE these! I'm partial to kraft and neutrals and combined with red it's beautiful! Love the color you added on the main panel of the first one. Your generation stamping on the second one is so well done. Fantastic idea!

  16. Both wreath cards are gorgeous Bonnie. Love the first one on kraft with that lovely stmap. The second one looks fabulous stamped with the simple die cut and bow. Nice touch with the scoring.

  18. I have this PB die, and gosh, never thought to do this color combo with it. It's gorgeous in these natural looking warm colors. I LOVE your watercolor take on it too. Again, would not have thought to use it in this way...you're a genius!!! Not to mention being a super designer! TFS & Hugs

  20. The kraft with red for the bow and red gems on the first wreath, and then a similar colour scheme for the second with stamped light brown pinecones and accompanying bow and sentiment work well on both. I love the embossed frame too Bonnie. x
