I had a very productive day... I made matching cards in a box for my twin great nephews who turn 8 later in the month. I'll share them once the boys get cards. And I made a good start on some Christmas cards.
I have decided to try and use up some of my VAST number of Christmas PP pads. I also used a new Nellie Snellen die I got from the Great NZ Craft Fair I went to on Friday. (As well as some new Embossing folders, a new stamp, a Wink of Stella pen and some stickers) I really like this die as the inner oval is part of the set of dies. So you know the inner will fit. The sentiment on this is a Kaisercraft one.
Next up is another PP and a Poinsettia stamp (the one I got on Friday) by Kiwi Stamping - a NZ company) I stamped and embossed it three times, twice on red and once on green and fussy cut. The sentiment is embossed twice on the red card. It is a Kaisercraft sentiment.
More use of PP and my new die set. Very CAS. The sentiment from Winnie & Walter and has been embossed.
And finally an embossed card.
I added some Wink of Stella to the raised areas and some red watercolouring for the berries. '

Thank you for taking the time to get this far. I really appreciate it.
I also had a chance to make some more cards today. I got another 5 cards done... all in my usual CAS style. The mojo is simply flowing at the moment.
Hope you are all having a great weekend.

What beautiful creations, Dawn! I love your new die and that gorgeous embossing folder. The patterned paper is also very nice. Good that you were able to get together with your group of friends, too.
Looks like you had a wonderful time Dawn. Your Christmas cards are beautiful. Anet x
It is wonderful to get together and craft with friends, thanks for sharing the photo and the beautiful cards Dawn!! And I want to thank you for visiting my new blog!! :)
You've certainly been busy! I'm so glad you were able to spend some time with family.
I think my favorite card is the poinsettia. It must have taken some time to fussy cut all that. But it's beautiful.
looks like u had a fabulous fun day with your friends - and all those wonderful christmas cards - win win day!
What a nice day you've had crafting with your friends, love your pretty Christmas cards :)

Wonderful cards Dawn - I thought the poinsettia looked familiar - I have it in my stash too :-). That die looks fabulous.
