I have 2 cards to share today. My first card uses a sentiment from Merry Wishes -the fonts in this set are perfect and can carry a card on their own! The pattern paper is from MME, the I Believe collection. I have been seeing this clever corner punched square design all over and decided to try it myself. I like how this turned out! It would be just as cute and quicker to make by eliminating the brown matting layers. I loves me some quick Christmas card designs!!
Happy hopping!

Ooooh. I love these cards. They both look so gorgeous and easily do-able. Love your sneak peek.
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle!
ReplyDeletePretty, pretty cards!! Especially that first one really caught my eye, those shapes are very pretty!!
Hugs, Wendy
Very Pretty! I am loving that joy wreath!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are so pretty! I love them!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful. I love the simplicity of the geometric design...and the little snowflake/button/twine touch just adds some whimsy! The colors in the second one are so fresh for a holiday card. That is probably my favorite all-time ribbon, too. I'm sad it was an in-color limited one...
ReplyDeleteSo sweet....I love both your cards.
ReplyDeleteYou are all about the details and it shows. Just pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove both of these cards. Really pretty. tfs.
ReplyDeleteWow..those are SUPER cute. I really like the design of the first one. It's simply adorable. I can see it being used for so many different kinds of cards. The second one has a great color scheme.
ReplyDeleteWOW, these are both gorgeous! When I saw the first one I thought the second couldn't possibly match it, but it did! I love the squares in the first and how you made the stripes go in different directions. And the paper on the second one is so awesome. I'm trying to resist buying any more DP until I decrease my stash, but after seeing this several times this week, I might need it. : )
ReplyDeleteI love both of your cards! The sentiment and shapes in the first one are awesome and the holly branches and JOY sentiment are fabulous on the second! Great dp too!
ReplyDeleteLove these!! Those matted stripe panels rock! So simple, so pretty, and the chocolate adds so much warmth :)
ReplyDeleteLove them both. The first is simple but, elegant with all the subtle layering and the berries hanging on the second with popped up wreath is wonderful!!
ReplyDeletemichelle...these are simply gorgeous! love the papers, your layout, and your color combos are out of this world! awesome preview! :)

ReplyDeleteWOW!!!! The first has such clean lines...it just pops! The second has a fablous color combo! I love, love both of them!
ReplyDeleteI love both of them. Very creative use of the diagonal stripes on the first, and I really like the "mistletoe" effect you've created with the holly branches on the second.
ReplyDeleteWow, the layout of the first card is so striking, love it!!
ReplyDeleteAnd the wreath replacing the "O" on the second card is very pretty.
Oh these are so pretty.....love em....tfs

ReplyDeleteThese are stunning Michelle! I will have to grab some of that Mitten Weather DP! I especially love your layout on the first card, PERFECt for diagonal stripes no? And those silver domes add so much elegance. I am also impressed with how meticulously you cut out the holly berries in the second card.
