Hi, Everyone! I made two "flat" cards! Yippee! (and I said it could not be done)
The theme is "ANYTHING GOES using any die manufacturer which Scrapy Land sells" (electronic die cuts do not qualify). Scrapy Land sells over 40 brands of dies, including overseas products, and most are at a great discount.
plus free shipping over $45!

Below, using gold glossy cardstock and accented with gold glitter:
Below is a triple panel version using old, old coordinating KandCompany designer papers.
This card will cost only one stamp to mail:
Inside:
The gold glossy cardstock is so pretty, and looks great with the Sparkle N Sprinkle Celestial Glitter G1031 (another virginal product bites the dust! giggle)

Gorgeous Donna. Really loving that little bell die. The distressing and the papers you've used give it a Victorian feel.
ReplyDeleteLike you I find one layer cards difficult unless they are inky ones, but both of these look great and lush rich colours on both.

Beautiful cards and pretty die cuts! Love the papers, just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWell, first of all, I love the Mistletoe and Bells die -- so pretty! Now, gorgeous papers and layouts for your FLAT (yippee!) cards! They can be such a challenge, but these want for nothing. Love the distressing on the one card, and I always love a three panel layout. Don't know what it is about it, but they really appeal to me. The gold glitter on the gold bells is a beautiful touch!
ReplyDeleteI love the layers and textures and colors and it is terrific that they are flat and still look so fabulous. Hugz
ReplyDeletePretty cards!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous, you are so talented.

ReplyDeleteOh, I struggle to do flat cards, Donna - always want to pop everything on foam dots LOL!!!! - but you have really done a great job with keeping these two cards flat!!!! I love the pretty mistletoe and bells die and with the added glitter it is even more stunning!!!! Love the idea of the three panels on the first card and the distressing on the other!!! So beautiful and festive, Donna!!!!
ReplyDeleteDonna, your cards are so beautiful! Flat cards are scary to make, but the elegance you achieved is quite spectacular! The Mistletoe and Bells die is stunning.. I especially love the shiny gold with the sparkly accents. :o) Gorgeous papers and beautiful designs for each. Lovely work, my new friend! I'm excited to see what you have for us next. :o) Have a wonderful day!

ReplyDeleteHow beautiful, Donna! Gorgeous papers and dies! xxx
ReplyDeleteI love all the layers on your "flat" cards, Donna! Terrific paper choices on both of them and the "Bells" die is wonderful. I received anopther order of dies from Scrapy Land and plan to play with them this weekend. I'm sure I'll get something done for the challenge. :-D
ReplyDeleteHallo liebe Donna,
ReplyDeletedeine Karten gefallen mir sehr gut. Die kleinen gestanzten Glöckchen gefallen mir sehr gut. Ach die Innenseite mit den gestanzten Ilexblättern sind wunderschön. Ich wünsche dir von Herzen alles Liebe und Gute für das neue Jahr. Fühl dich geknuddelt und herzlich gegrüßt von Silvi
You always make such beautiful cards, and your die collection makes me drool! Two beautiful winners!
ReplyDeleteI love your flat cards Donna, they are very beautiful , and very easy to send to somebody. When I started with my hobby about 4 years ago , I wanted to make scrapcards with flowers, they were very pretty, very expensive and impossible to get on there destination without damage, therefore I now make flat cards, or olmost flat cards all the time, and people like them more!!!
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Maria

ReplyDeletetwo beautiful cards love the papers and distressing and even though flat the layering looks great
ReplyDeleteCarol x
These are fantastic creations! Thanks for playing at PTW! xxx
ReplyDeleteYay for you having created a one stamp card, that is still so pretty & has such visual impact. I saw the die you used, and said "Why didn't I think to do something like this?". I have that die (NBUS) and you've shown it to tremendous impact on both cards. I really liked the scallop glitter frame around the diecut as you did this. TFS & Big hugs. Happy weekend. Off to see the earlier post that I missed.
ReplyDeleteFabulous Donna, this card is just amazing. I love what you did with the die cut. A triple panel card is so creative and the inside sentiment is just beautiful. I love all the layers of designer papers. The gold and a nice touch and really set off.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Pat/♥
Loved your versatility on using the bells. Delightful cards.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you could join us at Die Cut Divas.
How in the world did I miss this beauty. Love everything about this Christmas card, the bells, and your wonderful mix of papers and sparkle. First Christmas card for 2015....check and it's a beauty.
