Here are two more Christmas cards I received.  Aren't they both gorgeous?  In reality, the picture doesn't do them any justice. 

  

The top card is from my upline, Lyssa.  The gold just shimmers and gives an elegant feel to the card.  She didn't just stamp the words in gold ink, but used gold embossing powder instead.  I didn't get this stamp set, and this card makes me regret not buying it. My loss. 

The Bottom card is from my friend, Cheryl.  She really gave her Big Shot a workout making these cards.  Shall we try to count the times she used it:  Embossing folder, cut the trees and then emboss, deer, 2 circles, Merry Christmas and the pine boughs. I count at least 9 times, maybe more because of the trees.    Everything is layered together in a way that it all works perfectly and doesn't look too crowded.  

That's all for tonight.  It's going to be a mother/daughter coffee date tomorrow morning.  My friend and her daughter are joining us.  We always have a good time getting together.

Until next time...Stampin' Always
