WOW Wednesday at Cat's Creations

It's WOW Wednesday over at Cat's Creations. This week I've been working on some Christmas cards. Not for me mind you although I need to do that. I got the bright idea to do this as a gift for someone. I'm not saying as they read my blog. I'm only a month late. Do you suppose they will mind?! I had good intentions and thought about this ahead of time. I just didn't get moving fast enough to get it done. Anyway, here's what I've been working on.

This is made from the new Authentique Christmas collection. I just LOVE this paper. It's a pretty simple card. I added some bling to some of the holly berries. The stamp is from Unity. I used Tim Holtz Distressed ink "Forest Moss" and added some bling to it as well.

Another simple card. This card I used from my left overs from making Christmas layouts. This paper is from My Mind's Eye. I'm typically a "traditional Christmas color" kind of gal but I really liked these colors together and it made for a fun card.  I made the ornament using a Tim Holtz Alterations diecut "Carved Ornaments". I love this die and have used it on several cards. There are some word dies that you can use with this but since I had words on the paper I went for a solid ornament. For some interest and dimension I used a Stamping Up embossing folder. I finished it off with some We R Memory Keepers Sew Easy Fancy Floss Flamingo, Grasshopper and mermaid.

Using up more left over Christmas papers from layouts, this card was made with Echo Park. Again I used the TH diecut this time with the word "Joy". I couldn't help but think of the Christmas Carol "Joy to the World" so using an embossing pen I wrote "to the world" on the ornament. I was really wishing I had a gold pen for that step but oh well.  I popped the ornament with some chipboard to give it some dimension then tied a bow with tule and attached to the card.


Now hop over to Cat's Creations for a little creative inspiration there just might be some blog candy in it for you!
