More Christmas Cards!!

It has been so much fun making all of my Christmas cards (but I'm ready for a change now). This photo shows 3 designs that I made a heap of.
The left card and the centre reindeer card were very quick to make in bulk, the right card took more time.
I just love embossing folders, they give such an elegant look to the card.
I just love the simplicity and elegance of this reindeer card. The red pearl for the nose and the glitter sparkle in the antlers seem to set it off. I saw a card similar to this somewhere but cant remember the details.
Stamps : Dasher, Contempo Christmas (Stampin' Up!)
Cardstock & Papers : Crumb Cake (Stampin' Up!)
Inks:   soft suede (Stampin' Up!)
Other : real red grosgrain ribbon (Stampin' Up!),  pearl (Kaisercraft), kindyglitz

I just loved making this card. It took longer to make due to all the layers but was worth it. I love the new scallop trim border and corner punches from Stampin' Up! but it did take a bit of getting used too in order for it all to line up. This wide striped ribbon is also a fav of mine.
Stamps :  Contempo Christmas (Stampin' Up!)
Cardstock & Papers : Cherry Cobbler, very vanilla, old olive (Stampin' Up!)
Inks:   Cherry Cobbler, chocolate chip, old olive (Stampin' Up!)
Other : old olive striped grosgrain ribbon, vintage wallpaper embossing folder, scallop trim border and corner punches (Stampin' Up!) 

This last card is also very simple and elegant. I CASED a card from Angela Sargent but changed the sentiment label and blinged the edges with kindyglitz. 
 Stamps :  teeny tiny sentiments, tiny tags (Stampin' Up!)
Cardstock & Papers : old olive (Stampin' Up!)
Inks:  old olive (Stampin' Up!)
Other : old olive striped grosgrain ribbon, vintage wallpaper embossing folder, lots of tags sizzlit dies (Stampin' Up!), kindyglitz
