Hello … bonjour! I’m popping in this morning to wish you a Très Joyeux Noël … a Very Happy Christmas … may the miracle of Our Lord’s birth bring you great joy and every blessing on this truly special day … and always! I haven’t had chance to post all of the Christmas cards I made this year, so am taking a moment to share a few of them here. Most years, I make lots of one single design … this time, for a change, I made small batches of different designs. The first of today’s quintet …
A simple, die cut 3D Christmas scene using the Concord & 9th Holy Night dies … against a blue foil background. Isn’t that reflection amazing … and I didn’t even see it till after the picture was taken … a happy accident! This was the only one like this … there were other cards made with glitter card and pearl card backgrounds, but there’s no mirror quality to them, so no reflection. The Silent Night, Holy Night sentiment (from the same C9 bundle) is on the back. I’m sending this card to …

The die is from Tutti Designs … a gift from the lovely Michele (thank you so much, my friend!), cut from pearl card and adhered over a Distress Ink sponged background, spritzed with Shimmer Spray. The sentiment is from Concord & 9th’s Holy Night. I’m joining in at …

Next on stage … a snow covered village on Christmas Eve …
Don’t know where the village landscape die is from … it was from my Lake House stash. It’s adhered over a Distress Ink sponged and shimmer sprayed background … and stamped with a Concord & 9th sentiment. I’m playing along at …

Finally for now, a simple, rustic creche …
Don’t use a lot of kraft at all … though I do love the look of white embossing on it. This lovely image seemed a perfect way to combine the two … it’s part of a Hero Arts full nativity scene (Greatest Gift) that I very carefully trimmed out so that I could use just the creche. The sentiment is from Concord & 9th. I love the simplicity! This is heading to …
