Bells for CAS Christmas

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Today I have two cards for CAS Christmas.

My sweet friend Linda  (Lin's Crafty Corner) is hosting this month and she chose...

I chose to use these bells from an old Stampin' Up set and the words from

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day. They've been heat embossed 

in gold on textured paper.

For the first card, I die cut the bells with a Stitched Arch die
and cut a larger arch from Gold Foil.

For the second card, I did the same thing but placed both the bells
and sentiment on the same piece and die cut them with the
Elegant Rectangle STAX also with a gold foil mat.

I die cut the background with the largest of the Elegant Rectangle dies, 

scored the back piece and glued the two pieces together.

The scoring helps the card to stand up.

It was hard to capture the shine of the embossing and gold foil

but they are very shiny IRL.

The Design Team and Guest Designer, my friend LeAnne,

have some wonderful cards to amaze and inspire you.
