Have yourself a very elegant Christmas

Christmas cards and gift-giving is made all the easier this season with Meg's Garden 2019 Christmas collection. In elegant creams and vintage tones, Christmas cards this year will be something special.

I have made a series of four cards, each using elements from the Christmas collection and embellishments from Meg's Garden.

To the Cut & Create bauble, I added sequins, gold pearl bling, ribbons and flowers for a stylish almost real-to-touch bauble. 

Using a Vintage Journal Card and nesting dies, I layered each cut of the whimsical evocative image, two young children waiting for Santa. To keep the imagery the main focal point, embellishments are minimal in ribbons and gold leaves, paper flowers, stamens and bows.

What a stunning VJC image! Layering again with nesting dies, this time at an angle. The damask background is one of the elegant papers included with the Christmas collection. Minimally embellished, featuring a bow, beautiful crystal hat pins and bling.  

With so many choices from Meg's Garden Christmas collection, I have one final, more traditional, card to share.

Using four traditional "old world" Cut & Create images of St. Nicholas, I mounted each on papers in Christmas red, green and gold. Finishing with a fitting sentiment, again from the Cut & Create sheets and embellishing with bling, glitter flowers in gold.
