VERY SIMPLE CHRISTMAS CARDS

Last week I thought I was going to have our two youngest grandchildren for the weekend.  Plans changed and my weekend was completely free so I thought I was going to have all kinds of time to play at my craft table.  WRONG!!!  Well, I had the time but unfortunately my husband's cold decided to find a home in me as well.  Guess it was a very good thing that the grandchildren wouldn't be coming.
 
Friday I had made three VERY simple Christmas cards with Spellbinders dies that I had ordered.  I love the dies! 


I couldn't get a good picture of this card so that it would show the embossing along both sides.  Love the die but I'm not real happy with this card so I'm looking for alternative ways to use it.
 
 
Sorry I didn't get this picture cropped.  The embossing folder that I used for this was one that I borrowed from a friend this past summer in Des Moines.  I simply added a die cut which was made using gold shiny paper.

 
Of the three simple cards, this one is my favorite.  I love the design of this die.  All three designs were cut using a new double sided sticky sheet and then adhered to the cards.
 
Thank you for coming by today!

Simple but very elegant.

My card was modeled after one I saw on Pinterest.  That card used a die with larger trees.  This die is from Penny Black.  I liked the large...
