Glitter Xmas

Hi one and all
Yesterday I got to go to a sleepover and make Christmas cards.  How good is that.  The funny think was I only took my dies, minimal paper making sure my glitter, foil and some ds paper was in the pack.  Odds and ends and I survived the nite.  The good thing was my gf had the required Big Shot, and a whole heap of embossing folder that I could use.  So I managed to make 4 cards.  No much you might say but a we all know some days you're lucky if one is made a week.  Well I might be stretching it a bit.

So here's the first one

Yo one n' all
This card was so easy to put together, wish it was always the case.  I've now managed to get a lovely stash of washi tapes in the Christmas theme.  A SU star punch was used to punch out the glossy star.  I cut the shape of the tree using a box cutter.  So entering this one into the challenge

Happy Thursday everyone
I had a very good day today.  Xfit was awesome, my back squats were good, I did a PB on my 2km row - under 10 mins which I'm happy with.  Lunch was awesome as well the pork chop came on a heated piece of stone where you got to watch you meat being cooked at the table.

Now this card had me going for a while, I'm happy with the end results.

Happy days,
Had to get the thinking cap for this challenge, haven't done a one layer card like for years.  I'm so use to using layers to make that card stand out, but I think I've done it George.  I've use masking techique to colour my baubles using the negative and positive cuts for the various inking.  I hope this is what the DT over on CAS on Sunday are expecting.  :/
