If these cards don’t get you in the mood for Christmas I’m not sure anything will!! These cards all feature the Take a Bow DSP – it’s so cute! And perfect for Christmas cards/projects – but also some of the patterns can we used for other times, too!! These are the three cards I made yesterday on my weekly FB Live.
Below is the video recording of my live:
The first card used the second smallest circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies. The nice thing about cutting DSP with the dies is that you can do several at the same time – a great time saver! When I created this card, I asked my viewers to pick whether they liked the Santa in the center of the card – or if they preferred the house?? Which do you like best?
I
I die cut a few more circles and cut them in half with my Paper Trimmer and added them along the Basic White panel on the inside of the card! Great way to use small DSP scraps – we all have them, don’t we?
My second card featured more of the Take a Bow DSP – I used the Greetings of the Seasons dies to create the two large tags. Both the Santa and the House are from punch bundles – which means you can punch them quickly! I also used the Red & White Peppermint Gems for my embellishments on all of the cards – they are just too cute! Thanks for stopping by – I hope you like my cards!

The Changing Leaves bundle is gorgeous! It includes a Hybrid Embossing Folder that I have fallen in love with!!! This bundle has been highly popular and you can see why with these cards!!!
Below is the video recording of my live:
My first card is monochromatic. I used a beautiful combination – Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon and Pool Party. This card features the stmap set alone – so pretty – I love the detailed leaves!
My second card featured the embossing folder with the Hybrid component. Be sure to watch my recording of the FB Live to see it in action. It’s easy to use and fun! The focal point of this card is the Season of Elegance Specialty Paper – it is 12″ x 12″. The combination of this paper with Basic Beige has become a favorite of mine.
The third card is a combination of the embossing folder, and the Season of Elegance DSP.
