    Two beautiful cards. Love the angled paper on the 1st card and the layered sentiment. Great way to recycle those lovely calendar pages. I have been thinking of stating my Christmas cards also. Thanks for the inspiration.

    This is a pretty PB holly and berries die and works beautifully on both cards Bonnie, and I love the angled red dp and finished with the lovely black with white shadow which stands out well against the red, and some lovely splattering too. The second looks great with the white Nuvo drops in the background and a pretty font for the sentiment in green which goes beautifully with the background card. x

    A very elegant card. He designed this card so beautifully by creating a diagonal cut of the panel. And I love how that sprig of holly extends beyond the circle in the second card.
