I made the card shown with some of the supplies that I have here with me.....using more of the Festive Flourishes Kit including 2 of the gold foiled die cuts and pattern paper.  I added these items with a glitter star (that I had cut earlier and found in some leftovers) on a card base of Metallic CS.

Birds and Bows

 

Hello!  I am working from my Florida "studio" with limited resources so I am doubly challenged making cards for my blog.   Also I am still trying to locate a good spot for photographing my projects.  For this card,  I used a topper with birds and bows combined with snowflake and polka dot papers all with gold foil accents that are from a Luxury Card Kit called Festive Flourishes.   I attached these to a card base of blue cardstock and finished with ribbon and  bow of red organza with gold threads.  The sentiment tag was stamped with a Winnie and Walter sentiment and tied on with gold metallic ribbon.  This was a simple enough card and qualifies for the following challenges:

Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge: Something beginning with B--used bows, bird, birdhouse, blue CS
Merry Monday Christmas Challenge: #144 Bows
The Glory Of Christmas Challenge:  Spots and/or Stripes
ABC Christmas Challenge: Bows, Bunting,  or Baking. Used bows.

Joy to the World

Hello!  I cannot get away from making Christmas cards since there are so many fun year long challenges.
This was inspired by Craftyhazelnut's challenge Joy to the World. I pulled out a sentiment from a Flourishes set and embossed it in gold on a punch out topper from a Free Foil Accents Luxury Card Kit called Festive Flourishes that was inside an issue of Paper Inspirations.  I added this to a gold foil accented music sheet pattern paper from the same kit.  This was attached to a mat of gold metallic CS and a card base of blue-green CS.  So simple but elegant I think.
