Giveaway closes on Sunday, September 23rd at 11:59 pm EDT. The winner will be announced in the blog hop post the following Monday. Winner is responsible for shipping cost, duties and taxes. 

 The Blog Hop Order is located at the bottom of my post.  Scroll on down, enjoy the card samples, and hop to see more inspiration.

My cards feature dies from A Sweet Christmas by Sharyn Sowell.

I created two cards that use the following dies: 

This is the first card.  I thought the Mistletoe Gatefold die made a beautiful festive flap fold type card.  I layered a green die cut under the gold for shadowing to make the Mistletoe Gatefold die pop.  
When the card is opened, a  warm surprise awaits.  

Here's a quick video




This is the inside of the card featuring Spellbinders Hanging Stocking Die from A Sweet Christmas Collection by Sharyn Sowell.  I have once again layered the dies for a bolder effect.  



This is the second card.  I decided to use the Spellbinders Mistletoe Gatefold from A Sweet Christmas Collection by Sharyn Sowell as a border on this card.  I cut the die from cream colored cardstock and enhanced with inks and mist.

    Kind of hard to beat gold and red for Christmas cards, isn't it?! These are simply beautiful, every design element enhances all the others ---like a family dinner with only compliments! (sorry, but it could happen ... maybe one day.) thank you for a wonderful example.
