Are you working on holiday cards yet?
I'm not really, although I have been sharing a few
over the past couple of days.
It's day two of hosting
and I have been enjoying playing with my
newest set of Unity called
'Bright & Merry Winter Wishes'.
I have been trying to create a few things that would
give you ideas on how to make quick 'assembly-line'
type of cards. Anything I can do to inspire you to
'make' rather than 'buy'!
The snowflake was actually stamped first and then
die cut using a Spellbinders die. I also used
'Labels One' for my frames.
A little Stickles in garnet highlight a few of the letters
on the sentiment and a rhinestone center for a little more shine!
The satin ribbons are from Anna Griffin.
These really make up so quickly that using the same
design for matching gift tags just makes sense.
I am really enjoying playing with my Unity stamps this
week and now here's a chance for you to
win your own set from Unity.
Make sure you leave a comment on each GIU post
which began yesterday. Come Friday, I will have a random
drawing from all the comments left on these posts.
So glad you stopped by!

Super cute!!!! And I wouldn't have thought of that color combo.......LOVE THEM!!! hugs K
Brilliant cards, blue and brown are always excellent bedfellows and such a neat idea for assembly-line cards. Love how you've combined the snowflake stamp with a similar shaped die. Pxx
Oh Julie, I love these. Great stamps and my favourite colours too. Haven't made a start on mine yet! Must get a march on! S x

Love those tags Julie, and they make for great cards too! I can just imagine parcels under the tree with big gold bows and your stunning tags :)
I love the cards you've been making, Julie, they are just that bit different from the usual type of Christmas card. I love that blue.

I need to start thinking of Christmas....but first--I've got to finish this client order! Which will take me until Nov. 20...so maybe by then I'll be in the Christmas mood:)

these are fantastic. I like your idea of "assembly line"- I love when I have a concept I can do multiple pieces at each step and assemble at the end, makes me feel very productive and crafty!
No, I have not started mine yet other than a few I have made for Operation Write Home! I think I would have had to start in June to make my own! :-) These are adorable! I just love your style! :-)
Your tags are gorgeous and great idea to do more than one of a design!! Love the paper piecing and dotted background.
Love the blue frame and what a perfect match for the card and tags! Fabulous!!!
What a great idea! I'm already off to make some of them, they so versatile!
LOVE the snowflake and that adorable font! great job!
I love how your tags turned out -- merry and bright indeed :)
