We had fun cutting out edgings and trees. I cut three trees ~ two in green foil and one in silver and then cut the ornaments in the red foil. All up I made 5 cards.... 4 Christmas ones and one birthday.
I added the green foil tree to a white card and added the sentiment from a Kaisercraft set. Then I let loose with coloured gems....
My next card used the silver foil tree
I added a silver embossed sentiment. Not sure if I need to add some gems. What do you think?
and here's is my ornament card.
Another CAS card with the ornaments taking centre stage. I added the PP to the bottom of the card and used a piece of printed ribbon as my sentiment. My strings are Peelcraft stickers. Added the gems and it was all done.
I'll share my other cards on my Flickr page and here later in the week. My Die Cut Divas sample will be up tomorrow as we start an new month....
Thanks for stopping by. Hope I didn't bore you with all my cards.... I just love sharing my creations and I appreciate those of you who take the time to comment. I do appreciate it.
And a final little note..... Alexandra is having a giveaway on her blog art scrap & more.

Hello Dawn,
Well you did have a great weekend, I am full of the flu unfortunately, so not crafting much.
the die cut trees look great and regards to your question re the silver one, I of course would add; a few red gems for sure, but that is me, someone else will prefer it as is.
Smiles:)

Beautiful cards.xxx
Its always fun to have a little 'me' time, and if it involves some crafting then all the better! Jo x
Love that pretty tree die, Dawn. The first card is very fun and festive and the silver one is more subdued and classy. I like them both equally! And the ornaments are so pretty. Glad you had some time to play!!
Looks like you had the perfect, crafty day, Dawn! Love those dies and the pretty cards you created with them!
Love that foil paper!! Looks like you are getting a jump on the Christmas cards- good for you! XX
having a day with a friend and making great cards to boot - what fun!!
How fun to share a day of crafting with a friend. You are invited to my home anytime!! The cards are gorgeous!! The silver one is lovely the way it is, but if you are itching to add bling, go for it!!
How fun to have a friend come over to craft! I can't wait until my sis comes for a week as that's the only time I have someone to craft with me. Love the Spellbinder tree & your cards! I would add gems or pearls to the silver one, but only because that's what I almost always do--LOL!
Oh Dawn what a lovely day you must have had - with awesome results!! Love the blue and silver, and I would suggest just clear rhinestones if you want to bling it up at all :-).
Blessings

Sounds like a special and fun day! And, you really took advantage of the time. I can't think of Christmas yet, but you've got these glorious gems all ready. Love 'em, Dawn.
Lovely Christmas cards. They look great embossed.
