Ooh what a chilly day it's been, so chilly that the stable cat followed me back to the house this afternoon and sat outside the patio doors meowing at me. I let her in for a cuddle and then marched back down the field to give her more food in her barn.Think I may well have started something!! Apart from doing the horse today I have stayed in the warm, wrapped all the presents that I have bought (so far) and finished writing my cards, a couple of which I am here to share. (I had forgotten making these!)
The Memory Box Grand Merry Christmas die came in handy again together with some Marianne snowflakes. You can see I used the sparkly ones set in the plain pearl card and vice versa. Both ribbons came from a local haberdashers and the dazzler from my stash.

Good evening Sarah,

Love your beautiful cards, both of them brilliant.
That's one of my favourite Dies. Only thing I used it last year for most of my cards. I would like to use it again next year, folk will have forgotten about last years card .... hopefully!!
Stay safe and warm

ReplyDeleteA great idea for a quick postable card.
ReplyDeleteWasn't too bad here at lunch time but the wind got up this aft and it was biting! Al has given up trying to put some lights up in the barn and come back inside for a warm!
Sarah. I have been making cards using this memory box die. Love how you have designed yours with those snow flakes. Yes I think you have started something with the cat, tigar the stable cat at work would love to be a house cat, but two collie dogs won't allow that ever!!! Hazel xx
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous cards - they are a perfect mix of CAS design with a touch of luxury from the bling and ribbon :-)
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, much as I love to colour, cards without colouring are the only way to get all the cards done that I need... and when they look as good as your two then who needs stamps?!
Hugs, Kat x
Two very lovely cards Sarah. Hugs Veerle xxx

Ooh, I'm feeling that chill over here in balmy South Carolina. We had a very pleasantly warm day (high 60-s - Farenheit). Was just at a Scottish blog, and they had snow & ice. Brrrr. I love this MB die. I finally got it, haven't used it yet. You've got 2 really snazzy & cheery cards with the red & white, and those snowflakes embedded into the white c/s really show off this die wonderfully well. Stay warm. Glad you could be inside & cozy. TFS & Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, these are so elegant! I love the variations, such gorgeous embellishments.

I really like these cards. I've been trying to buy the Merry Christmas die, but every time I try, it's not available. Love it and can't wait to get it one day. Thank you for sharing your cards with us at Crafty Creations.
ReplyDeleteLovely simple cards Sarah, and I don't blame you for staying in the warm.
