My 2nd Xmas Card using the Serene Snowflakes stamp set and Christmas Cocoa DP. Same layout, but the card folds at the top and stands vertical. I also placed the window differently from my 1st upload using the awesome Curly Label BigZ Die. I can't wait to get the new magnetic Dies that are in the upcoming Holiday Mini.
I wish the glitter showed up. This is a much prettier card IRL. I added a gold rhinestone to the center of the snowflake and used the stardust glitter pen to outline the sentiment, torn edge, frame of window and snowflake.
I hope you enjoy these nontraditional Xmas colors too. BTW, the DP is actually metallic. Very, very pretty. TFL

This is just wonderful! Love the colours and the stamp set and die cut also look fabulous... If only we had unlimited budgets for the new toys that keep taunting us from the pages of the catalogues!!

I love using any kind of brown in a Christmas/Holiday card. It just seems to add a bit of elegance. I realy love how you created this one. I will be adding this one to my favorites Thanks for sharing,

Oooooooh, this one is gorgeous, too! Love that paper and, of course, the fabulous snowflake with the rhinestone in the center. Pretty exciting that you're getting some Christmas cards done. The time is fast approaching.

What a beautiful non-traditionally colored Christmas card. Boy, I just LOVE this. Love the window you have in there and I can't believe that's metallic paper. OOOHHH, gotta have some of that!! TFS!
