Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
When Michele came, she brought lots of Betterpress Plates.
I did a lot of pressing! Here's the results from one of the plates.
Actually it results from two of the plates. The trees were pressed with a LDRS
press plate, die cut and popped up with foam tape. I've used chunky embossing
powder, heated from underneath to make a snowy scene.
Of course I had to press another and it resulted in my favorite.
I pulled out my Nativity dies and this was in the envelope. It was done long ago
and not used. What a nice surprise and a perfect fit.
Challenges:
Word Power #9 - Make the sentiment the focus of the card
Sparkles #164 - Make the sentiment the focus

Two gorgeous cards with that pressed sentiment, Bonnie! Love the pine forest & that stunning Nativity!!
ReplyDeleteBoth images give power to the sentiment, Bonnie. Lovely cards!
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards. Isn't that a wonderful surprise to find something that was previously made and works so well?
ReplyDeleteThey are both gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI just love that you pressed it in black - I've yet to do so myself, but it is in the planning stages!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, your little nativity scene is just so beautiful - perhaps it was waiting for just this card?

You've really made that sentiment work beautifully on both cards Bonnie...the tree line is gorgeous in its simplicity in your first card, and the nativity in your 2nd card is STUNNING with the sentiment! Two lovely, lovely cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous sentiment and you've certainly made it shine on both of these beautiful cards my friend! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our WORD POWER challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

Two beautiful cards with that great sentiment. Love the first one but like you, the second one is my favorite. Love the nativity die cut and the background it is on. Have a great week my friend.
ReplyDeleteTwo pretty cards, Bonnie! I like the wonderful nativity die cut. Looks like it found the perfect home today!
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful Christmas cards Bonnie and I love your monochrome trees with the large sentiment and the chunky embossing powder makes great snow and framed beautifully too, then the wonderful gold nativity scene over the really pretty background and another lovely 'Peace on Earth' press plate sentiment. x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards. Love the snowy effect from the embossing powder. Great idea xx
ReplyDeleteOh, my, yes... peaceful quiet of the first card is a hard act to follow, but the second card is my favorite, too. So lovely, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful and elegant cards! The first one would make a great masculine card. The second one is beautiful with the blue and gold. I love the large peace on earth sentiment.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards. LOVE that large sentiment which is such a lovely script. Especially love your nativity scene with the gorgoeus colours in the background. xx
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful cards Bonnie - The sentiment wishes are so needed in today's world -- if only .....
ReplyDeleteSandy xx
two gorgeous cards, I love the detail the betterpress gave on the cards. I have so many on my list :)
ReplyDeleteVERY pretty, and the Nativity steals my heart too! It's always fun to make pretties with a friend
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are beautiful Bonnie! That is one, gorgeous font for the “Peace on Earth.”. So fun to craft with a friend and swap supplies too!
ReplyDeleteBoth beautiful and elegant.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards. Love the designs. So glad you shared over at Sparkles Christmas
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards! This sentiment looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThe Betterpress plates allowed you to create some really beautiful cards. I wonder how you managed to get such clean printing, without any accidental contamination? I can't get the ink on the plate to print cleanly. Do you have a way to do that?
