I decided to play around with the layout on the red set. The first one I made was the card on the right. I decided to make a group of Christmas trees and layer them onto gold. Then I made the very CAS card with the tiny tree and frame, colouring the star and adding some bling to tie it in with the first card. I finished off with the white and red card - which is my favourite - simply cutting mats and stamping in red. Here are the individual cards
I'm really pleased with this challenge - I've added six cards to my 2012 Christmas card stash. Still lots more to make, but at least I've started!
I'm off to have a glass of wine with Mum. Before I go - thank you to everyone who left such lovely words about Mum - she is fully recovered and now that the weather is a bit cooler, she's really enjoying herself again! I'm off to a craft class tomorrow morning at my local shop - Stampeddler. I am taking a class with Lynell Harlow of Dreamweaver Stencils - she will be teaching a new technique using pearlescent embossing paste and metallic F/X mica powders to create molten magic images! I can't wait to play!! See you soon.
That really is all for tonight.

Great card sets. Love the green ones too, but there is something so rich about the red :)
These are all fab Deb, lovely & festive!
Oh, good, you did post the red! I loved the set of green, but red is my favorite color. I gotta tell you the "yuletide" card is my FAVORITE!!! The gold mirror paper, gems, and the elegant "yuletide blessings" font are stunning.
well i really didn't think you could surpass the green ones, missus, b/c they were truly AWESOME... but of course i was totally wrong! these are just soooooooooo utterly ♥FABULOUS♥! absolutely loving all three variations; maaaayyyyyyyybe the one on the farthest left is my favorite? or........ no, i think it's too close to call, a 3-way tie!!! (or 6-way tie if we're counting the green ones, as well... you just make it WAY TOO HARD too choose!) :) :) :)
Beautiful cards Deb! Love the red and gold color combo!
Love your Christmas cards. These look wonderful in red. I've only made a couple of Christmas cards so far this year. I need to get moving! Ann Y.
