Clean and Simple Joy Card

   This is my last post for today. I promise. This post is for another card that I created with this week's CAS-Ual Fridays challenge. 

Here is my take on the challenge. 

Supplies: cardstock (Canvas Home Basics and American Crafts), pattern paper (Scrap Works), wooden ornament (Target), stamp (Close to My Heart), ink (Close to My Heart), bakers twine (Bella Creationz), sequins (SpiegleMom Scraps), dies (Spellbinders), die cutter (Spellbinders) and lace (Heidi Swapp)

   I love the big snowflake on here. I got it in a pack of gift toppers from Target at the end of the season last year. 

I think this look is such an elegant look for the holiday card.

   I love the triple layer bow with the sequins star center.

   I couldn't resist to add a touch of lace to the bottom of the card.

Black, White & Gold Christmas Card Set

   Can you believe this is my second post for today and expect one more later on. This post is for a card set that I created with this week's CAS-Ual Fridays challenge. I have been a long follower of their blog but never got to play along, that is until now. This week's challenge was black, white with a pop of color. 

   Here is my take on it. I opted for gold as the pop of color. This color combo looks so elegant for Christmas cards. 

 Supplies: cardstock (Canvas Home Basics and American Crafts), pattern paper (Scrap Works), stamps (Studio Calico and Close to My Heart), inks (Tsukineko and Versamark), manual dies (Spellbinders), die cut machines (Spellbinders), embossing powder (Stampabilities) and brad (Quick Quotes).

   Here is a group shot of just the cards. 

   I used pop dots under the sentiment frame to give it more interest since I layered it on top of the same color cardstock.
