I brought along a selection of gliittery images and created some more Christmas cards..
I think I have mentioned before that I am trying to craft from my stash. Although I still buy the odd bargain here or there, mostly I am crafting with supplies lovely
This one is a bit similar to the others I have been making but when you are trying to churn out 30, or 40. or 50 cards, you do need to do some repeats, or at least similar cards, to speed up the process. You will recognize more paper from that MME 6x6 stack along with some K and Co glittery 3D snowmen.
Here are a couple of views that show the sparkle and glitter.

Wow, fabulous! I adore those snowmen too - found some K and Co. toppers in New Mexico and I love them. I also thank you kindly for your comment about the Playground and Option B. I agree too, no limit to the number of entries, the more the merrier and some people like to link in lots.

PS - Your desk in the last post looks rather like mine at the minute!!
Goodness, a 12 hour crop! Don't think I could have lasted either...
Love your Christmas card, the sparkle is fabulous and well done for using your stash - I think I should have a go at doing just that. Thank you always for the lovely comments you leave me, they are much appreciated. Hugs, Anne x
Hi Mo, great sparkly Christmas card, love your colour combo and layering.
Reference cutting the spellbinder frames...if I can get a smaller shape inside the bigger one I tape (low tac) them on the card in place and run through my machine. Sometimes the dies won't fit inside each other usually if I am creating a thin frame in which case I cut the bigger one first then again tape the smaller die in place for the second cut. Have a go it's so much fun and so many possiblities. x
Happy crafting, hugs Erika.
Totally gorgeous card. Love that its all glittery.
Gorgeous card! Love the snowmen and all your fab sparkle :o) Hugs, Lisa x

You've got a great collection of Christmas cards ready I see! I really like this style, with nice papers for the background, snowflakes and snowmen - great winter themed card!
This card is so pretty and sparkly, running out of mojo at christmas seems to be the norm for me now lol, I thought about starting early but never seem to get round to it, maybe next year. Fab idea to use the stash you already have, been thinking about doing a use it up after the jan sales of course. Hugs, amanda x
Brilliant use of your snippets xxx
Mo, I love the glitter and the snowman....gotta love snowmen. The layers are yummy. Great job. 5 hours of cropping and lunching...a very worthwhile day. Good job!
Lovely card and a great use of snippets. The snowmen are gorgeous and I like the papers. Elizabeth xx
