Hello … bonjour! There are just a few hours left of the old year … and so many to look forward to and make the most of in the coming one! Très Bonne Année … A Very Happy New Year … may God bless you with health, joy, love and creativity throughout 2018 … and beyond! I’m back today with some more of my Christmas designs for this season … first up, some silvery white on white snowflakes …
I believe the embossed snowflakes on the white panel are from SU … not sure as they were part of my Lake House stash. They’re embellished with dots of silver and a stamped sentiment in silver from Concord & 9th (Silent Night) … and are mounted on a base that was swiped with Delicata silver around the edges.
I apologise in advance for the photo on this next snowflake one … don’t know what I did with the lighting here … and this was the best I could do with Picasa!
A one layer card with the sentiment (SSS) silver heat embossed and coloured with Zig brush markers … and the snowflakes (Hero Arts) stamped in Delicata silver.
More snowflakes on this next one …
This is one of those QACAS cards (quick and easy CAS in Darnellese). A panel of designer cardstock, already foiled with snowflakes … with a silver foil die cut sentiment (MFT) inlaid into it … all attached to a card base. The shimmer and shine is fabulous IRL … you can see just a little of it in the reflection on the desk top.
Here’s another similar one …
Different designer cardstock, foiled in gold, with the MFT inlaid sentiment in festive red. Again, you can see the shine of the foil in the desk top … seems those stars are slipping off the card!
Finally, a cute little tag …
These happy little birds are from Lawn Fawn … they’re frolicking against an ombré sponged Papertrey tag and are topped with a heat embossed sentiment from Uniko/SSS. You might be able to see that their warm winter woolies are coated with Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents.
I’m sending all these projects to SSS Wednesday where Anything Goes this week … and the sweet tag to Lawn Fawnatics, where we’re using a favourite Lawn Fawn set (Winter Sparrows).
I’m off to celebrate shortly … hope you’ll be seeing in the new year in style! Thanks so much for coming by … today and all through 2017. I always say it and I always mean it … your visits and comments are always a joy! Anita 🙂

Happy New Year to you, Anita! Another beautiful collection of your amazing creativity…especially your embossed snowflake…WOW! I’m so glad you’ve taken the time to share some of your Christmas cards with us…I may have to CASE a few next year 🙂 Crafty hugs, Barb xo
The first embossed one is just like a Christmas card I received and I absolutely loved it for its simplicity. Yours is perfect (and so much nicer as it’s handmade!) You’re far better than I am when it comes to Christmas cards Anita – I tend to do the same design for everyone as it’s so much quicker! I’m a lazy Christmas card maker!
beautiful set of cards, anita!! looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful designs in the new year!!
Happy 2018 Anita!!! Oh my goodness, your cards are just stunning. I love that sweet tag too. I know first hand just how beautiful your cards are my friend-they are amazing just like you. Hugs, Brenda
Une très bonne année à toi aussi, mon amie!
Your snowflake cards fit our wintry, cold weather perfectly! They are all lovely, including the tag!
Snowflakes are lovely (on paper) and you’ve made them into wonderful cards, Anita. You made the most of your DP with the inlaid sentiments.
First of all I apologise to have been remiss lately in my visits and comments. But I’ve been following all your posts and the beautiful cards that you shared with us. And you brilliantly finished the year with this gorgeous array of cards ! They are all so beautiful, with a preference for the second one…. and this birdies tag is so cute ! Hugs xx
Anita, I LOVE LOVE LOVE snowflakes. We actually got snow here in San Antonio, which is rare. How do you say snowflake in French?
