Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Challenges are getting ready to close so I'm hurrying to get these in.
First up for Jingle Belles...
I used a retired embossing folder for most of the pine branches and
gently rubbed some ink over the raised design with a sponge dauber and
Distress Oxide ink. The branches on top were die cut and sponged also. Then I
added a little glue and some glitter to make the branches sparkle.
The stocking has been die cut and embossed for texture. I found these little
pom-poms in my stash. They sparkle!
As you can see the glitter has stuck all over the card front.
I'll have a sparkly Christmas box!
My twofer....
My sweet friend Christine is hosting at CAS Christmas and is
asking for a Winter scene.
I hemmed and hawed about what to do for this challenge and ended up with...
A die cut scene and added little die cut house. I wanted to hang a wreath
on the door, but couldn't fine anything small enough.
Another very schparkly card!

I believe in the magic that embossing adds to any and every card, Bonnie! So cute to add a little more to this sweet little stocking!
ReplyDeleteAnother pretty Christmas scene - well if one lives in the land of snow, that is! Loving all the glittery goodness!

Two fabulous cards, Bonnie! I love the texture and the little pompoms on the stocking, and the way you've hung it from the branches. The winter scene on the second card is perfect with the embossed Frantage snow and the glitter everywhere. Thanks so much for joining us at CAS Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun stocking! It looks perfect hanging among the pine branches. And that little winter scene you've created is darling. Two delightful cards, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are wonderful Bonnie. Love your little stocking and perfect match with the knit EF :)
ReplyDeleteYour die cut Christmas scene is so sweet, love all the sparkle and snow ♥
Bonnie your cards again are just fabulous... two beauty's today... love how you combine the EF with die cut pine to hang that lovely stocking and the little Winter scene is wonderful, hugs Robyn
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are adorable, the first with its sparkly fun attitude and your cabin in its serene comfort and peace!
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely and sparkly Christmas cards Bonnie! LOVE that fantastic stocking with the quilted texture. What a great way to use the pine sprigs embossing folder! And I love your sweet winter scene. That house is so perfect in the winter wonderful setting. xx
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with both of these Christmas cards Bonnie! The stocking card is just so pretty, love how you used the embossing folder and some extra branches, added the ink and glitter and then hung your adorable stocking! Loving those little pompoms too! A fabulous Christmas card for sure! Your second card is equally fabulous! I love your little winter scene you created. A little cabin in the woods on a snowy Christmas night-so cozy, so sparkly, so beautiful! No, I can't imagine you finding a small enough wreath for that door, but it would have been awesome if you had, still looks perfect though! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteLoving all the sparkle and what a creative idea to use the pine embossing folder and then to pop the die cut branches on top. The stocking and the cute pom poms are adorable Bonnie x. Wonderful Winter scene and the circle aperture draws your eyes right into it x.
ReplyDeleteTwo fun cards for the challenges. The red pom-poms are so cute on the stocking. That is a lovely scene inside the circle. I hope this is the last we see of snow although it is so pretty on your card.
ReplyDeleteLove all the sparkle and the festive feel of these two cards.
ReplyDeleteYep that door is quite tiny but such a beautiful card! Great stocking there too Bonnie... Thank you for your kind wishes too my friend
ReplyDeleteTerrific twofers! Love the pom-poms on the stocking and you’ve inked the raised pine branches beautifully. Your little cabin scene is so cute and cozy.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving all the sparkle in both cards Bonnie...makes everything a little more festive! Your stocking with the embossing and sparkly pompom is so sweet hanging from the glittery branches, and your sweet little Winter scene makes Winter actually look nice!! I'm quite done with the whole Winter thing, but since I know it will be closer to June before we see any really nice weather here in Michigan, I'm just going to hibernate in my craft room where it can be any season I want it to be!! But anyway, two lovely, lovely cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteTwo very pretty and beautifully CAS Christmas cards. Love them both xx
ReplyDeleteI love that fancy stocking all decorated with sparkly poms, Bonnie. Your little scene is adorable, all snow covered and peaceful.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful Christmas cards Bonnie - loving the stocking on in particular - that is really spectacular
ReplyDeleteStay safe

Two fabulous cards Bonnie, and I love the fun embossed stocking with the pops of red..especially the pom-pom on the toe, and the glittery pine branches in the background, and then the wonderful circular scene and so sparkly and pretty too. x
ReplyDeleteTwo great cards Bonnie. I love the different style of stocking on the first and all the sparkle. Adorable little scene on your second card.
ReplyDeleteI love how you combined the embossing and die cutting on your first card, Bonnie! And you can never have too much sparkle, especially when there's Christmas and magic involved. Such a pretty snowy scene for Christine's challenge. Cutest little house nestled in the trees!
ReplyDeleteChristmas cards have to sparkle. Both of your cards are wonderful Bonnie. I like the texture on the socks and the combination of dry emboss and die cut pine branches. Winter scene is great and peaceful and very nice snowy.
ReplyDeleteSonja
Both Christmas cards are beautiful and sparkly, Bonnie! Love the combo of embossed pine branches and and die-cut ones. The sparkle of the glitter is so pretty! Love the knit texture and the pretty red pom poms of the cute stocking.
ReplyDeleteThe die-cut winter scene is so sweet and the wintry sky is just beautiful! I'm always happy to see your cards in the CAS Christmas gallery!
