Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I am so happy to see that my dear friend Loll has brought back the
CAS Christmas Challenge!
I was so excited that I made two cards with this new to me Alex Siberia set.
First up, I also used a NBUS Molded Frame embossing folder.
I die cut the bird and greenery from mixed media paper and used Distress Re-inkers
to color the bird and Twi-markers and my waterbrush for the greenery.
The berries were punched from a scrap of red cardstock.
This time I die cut the bird from Real Red cardstock and sponged a darker
red on the edges. The leaves were colored with a sponge dauber and Distress Ink.
I die cut a label and used a pierced cover plate die with a frame to
mount this one. Kind of the same but different and a good addition
to my Christmas stash.

Just one would never do, Bonnie! What a gorgeous bird - I'm reminded of a Scarlet Tanager - so beautifully perched and framed as he should be! Absolutely gorgeous!

Two great Christmas cards with those lovely red birds. Love how you made each one a little different. Have a great weekend my friend.
The same but different is the way I like to go and it stretches your creativity and dies. Both cards are wonderful, Bonnie.
And what a delightful little bird this is! Both cards are beautiful; I really love the background on the second one!
Both cards are beautiful, Bonnie! Different, yet similar, I think the red just draws us all right into the precious bird and branches
Ooooo! Beautiful birds Bonnie! They pop so well on the white and look so cool as in cold. Sad to wish foe winter so soon but man this heat so early! Been loving all your cards. Sorry havent commented on each one. Typing one handed is definitely a challenge physically and mentally. Hugs!
Two beautiful cards using your new bird die, Bonnie. He looks so gorgeous in red. And I love the greenery he is perched on. Both cards are framed so beautifully to show off your amazing focal image. Thanks so much for joining us at CAS Christmas, my friend! xx
You never cease to amaze me! Positively gorgeous! I love your really red birds.

Two gorgeous variations of birds with greenery! Thank you for joining us at CAS Christmas.
Oh, to have a red bird like this in my garden! Both cards are gorgeous overall, and what beautiful greenery with the tiny red berries! Love that Molded Frame. It's a favorite, for sure!
Bonnie, two fabulous cards. Those red birds really steal the show and they are colored so beautifully. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Christmas.
Both cards are absolutely BEAUTIFUL Bonnie!! I love the simplicity of the 1st one with just the molded frame around your sweet birdie and the leaves, but I love the 2nd one with the more detailed background too! And YAY for adding two more to your Christmas stash...way to go my friend!! Hugs. :0)
I love the sweet bird perched on the foliage Bonnie, and the Moulded Frame is just perfect and then the second with a pierced and beautifully shaped die cut mat as well as the embossed frame also looks great..two wonderful cards. x
A wonderful showcase of that sweet cardinal! Same, but different and both so gorgeous in traditional Christmas colors!
So happy to have you playing along at CAS Christmas, Bonnie! Your cards are incredible. The pop of red from the birds is beautiful against the crisp white!
I love it that your bird has the same color as the berries! Great christmas card. Thank you for joining us at CAS on Friday!
Two gorgeous cards! Love them both!
