Todays Card One, is glittery, shimmery and has a certain sparkle...a sparkle that an uptown girl will recognize right away.
Eldest daughter is definitely an uptown girl like this Special Miss. She will probably scoop up this card to give to one of her friends. I can think of several who would enjoy it!
Don't know if you can see it, but the silver shimmer card stock was embossed with a snowflake folder. Most EF in Canada are for 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 cards. That left me with an area of the card stock that was not embossed. I chose to off center my image mat and tied a piece of fine silver cord on the side that was not embossed.
Recipe
Card base - white 5 1/2 inch square textured stash card
Card Stock - snippets of reddish burgundy from stash
Glitter paper - Silver and aqua glitter paper from stash
Twine - silver fine cording from stash
Image - I think it might be a Kaban foiled topper
Card Two
I used a Wild Rose Studio topper and some pretty papers I got in a magazine when I was in England last summer. I kept it fairly simple as I wanted the topper to dominate the card. I matted with a bit of kraft card and just die cut a couple of Impression Obsession snowflakes and add some kraft colours pearls.
Recipe
Card base - from my stash
DP - Wild Rose Studio Annabelle's Christmas
Card Stock - snippets of kraft card

Hi Mo
Two fabulous festive cards here. Love all the glitz on the first one and the cute image on the second one.
Thanks for playing along with Rudolph Day.

Two fabulous Christmas cards! And what a great idea for adjusting your layout to accommodate the narrower embossed area in the first one!
I am also on a stash diet. I think it's even harder than a food diet!!

Your cards are adorable. The sparkly one is very pretty, and the second one is so so cute.
Two more fabulous cards Maureen! Love the sparkle. Yes I don''t know why they make EF such silly sizes! Susan x
LOVELY cards Mo - both the one with the Kanban topper (you were right about the brand!) and of course your lovely snippets card.
Catching up on commenting here!

Two fabulous Christmas cards Maureen, I love your design and all of the shimmer and shine on the first one and such a gorgeous image on the second.

Your cards are really mounting up to a good number now Maureen. Love these two as well. Those little snowflakes on number two are beautiful with that image.
Hugs to you Sue Pxxx
Hope you are both well.
Two more beauties. I'm at a loss to pick my favorite between these. Love that mat effect on #1, and the way you've positioned the focal image. Very nice design. Beautiful image & shimmer too. Who could resist the sweet cuteness of #2, and these Wild Rose images made me think of LOTV. Simply adorable, Mo. Good for you on keeping that goal in the forefront. You're doing great and making such pretty cards too! TFS & Hugs

Thanks for your warm welcome, and I am enjoying the trip around your blog, your two cards on this post are beautiful, lovely images and colours, best wishes, Kate x
Wonderful card! That first one is so shimmery and happy. The second one has a very nice country feel to it. Love the kraft snowflakes!
