Pair of Christmas cards

Hey everyone - hope you're enjoying the weekend! Unseasonably warm here today - high of 88F. Perfect time to stay indoors and make Christmas cards - LOL. I've been behind on building my stash and vowed to work on it, as well as to use some items in the UFO box. Here are a couple cards I created today with a snowflake theme:

Supplies: Paper - DCWV Ms Sparkle purple A2 card; Paper Studio glitter

Neenah Classic Crest Solar White; Doodlebug Frosty Friends 6x6 pad

Authentique Suave 6x6 pad; purple by unknown

Dies - My Favorite Things various Blueprints (retired) ; Elizabeth Ornament Set 2 (retired)

Hero Arts Christmas Trimmings Stamp & Cut; CC Designs snowflake (retired)

Embossing Folder - Sizzix Winter Snowflakes

 Other - Silver metallic pen; Hero Arts gems

The ornament and the snowflake were from my UFO box but the Merry Christmas diecuts in there were green, red and gold. I decided I wanted silver so cut it from glitter paper, then twice from white for thickness, and once from blue for a shadow. The white panel was in the UFO box but it was an under-embossed sweater knit piece. I decided to try embossing it with a new-to-me 3D snowflake folder and really liked the resulting dimension!

Supplies: Paper - DCWV Ms Sparkle purple A2 card; Neenah Classic Crest Solar White

BoBunny Woodland Winter 6x6 pad; Poptone Black Licorice

Dies - My Favorite Things various Blueprints (retired) 

Spellbinders Lacy Squares (retired)

Stamps - Hero Arts Christmas Messages

Other - Michael's gems

The stitched square with the inlaid snowflake came from my friend Heather - thanks again, Heather!! I don't know what brand it is but love the color combo. I decide to frame it with a scalloped square and add it to some BoBunny paper. Huh - funny shadow on the left of the card but it is, in fact, all white!!

That's it from here - another pair for the stash - yay!! Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous weekend!
