Today begins a new challenge at
Christmas at Sweet Stampin'!
Also virginal and being featured is Really Reasonable Ribbon Hunter Green Glitter Ribbon. I promise you it is very sparkly and blindingly so! (more giggles - sorry I can't stop) It's a double loop bow.
Speaking of loopy... someone make me stop giggling!
My marvelously brilliant teammates have fantastic samples to share! We hope to see your imaginative artwork each month in our "Anything Goes Christmas" Challenges. The challenge is for ANY Christmas theme craft project. January's Challenge is open until March 12.
This month I'm playing with my virginal Spellbinders Curved Borders Two die set. This die has been in my stash for years, and never used. How could this happen? (giggle). Looks cute in this 4.5" x 6.75" card - resembles a tag.Also virginal and being featured is Really Reasonable Ribbon Hunter Green Glitter Ribbon. I promise you it is very sparkly and blindingly so!

So which are you?

I prefer the right card, my husband prefers the centered card.
Of course, you may not prefer either of them! haha

Though it looks nothing like the inspirational card on My Stampin' Memories Blog, my creation is a knock off of her pretty card.

So elegant and beautiful Donna. Love the colour! Delish hunny. I like both takes on the ribbon too, but as I'm a freak for symmetry, I must confess the centred one is my absolute fav'. Both so gorgeous though! Hugs, Wends xoxo
These are lovely. The lacy snowflakes are fabulous and I love the ribbon threaded through it. I love they way you made one symmetrical and one asymmetrical. I don't know which is my favorite. http://bunnyscards1.blogspot.com/2019/02/hmfmc284-mid-way-reminder-design-team.html
Gorgeous!!
very beautiful and elegant cards Donna.
the glitter is gorgeous.

Hi Donna your cards are gorgeous. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Beautifully designed Donna, and all the pretty details are as usual amazing...love that SB die you have used, sets off those pretty snowflakes perfectly!!
Donna your "twin" snowflake cards are so lovely! That beautiful ribbon you wove through the snowflakes is gorgeous!
It's a beautiful design Donna, gorgeous colours and the border dies are lovely, glad you got to use them at last! Both cards are fabulous but if I had to make a choice it would be the off-centre one!
Have a lovely day

These are so pretty! Your bows are fabulous!
Hi Donna, Love the Christmas cards. That design would look good in red as well.
Hope you are having a nice day. Sue
Love the colours you've used. They are lovely cards. Love Dawn x
How elegant and stunning, what a great idea lacing the ribbon through the snowflake! The inside of the card is beautiful too! Hugs, Donna
So regal and well designed card. I love the colors and all the fabulous dies you used. And, the ribbon is a perfect match. I love how you carried the snowflake design over to the inside too. This is so very gorgeous in every way.
Two beautiful elegant Christmas cards De, I tend to favour centred..but both are perfect and gorgeous colours used.
Hugs Pam x
Both beautiful cards Donna love the snowflakes and sparkly ribbon-green is my favourite colour!!!

Oh, yay, Christmas cards! So good to see because I'm trying to be diligent this year and the inspiration is good. Very pretty! Ooooh, love that sparkly ribbon and how you've threaded it through the snowflake. Hmmm... symmetrical or asymmetrical? I can go either way. Sometimes I have to make myself not center everything. You got me giggling, too, Donna. It's all about the fun!
Beautiful cards! I love the die cuts, addition of the ribbon through the die cuts and the pretty white splatters. The design is FAB. Thank you for playing along with the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.
Gosh De what a lovely post. Love that green bow so stunning. Hope you are well, been busy days here and so hot..xx
Beautiful and elegant cards, love that dark green ribbon. Thank you for joining us at Crafty Calendar Challenge,

Your cards are stunning!!! What a gorgeous snowflake. Love your colors too! Thanks for joining us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.
Oh wow they are gorgeous!! Your sparkle ribbon threaded through the snowflake is gorgeous. I can't hardly believe this is your first time using that border die, you know you will be going for it all the time now :)
Love the sparkle you gave to the background too. I will have to say on these cards I do like it centered more, I have tried to off center my cards more instead of everything being lined up and centered but I do like to change things up, that's for sure. Your inside is just lovely too!
Gorgeous dies and your colors and ribbon are elegant. Thanks for joining us at AHSC this week. I'm liking the centered one a little better. But they are both lovely.
I’m definitely a symmetrical person - prefer the one in the middle. Love the monochromatic look of your cards. Thanks for sharing with us at Atlantic Hearts :)
Lovely holiday cards, thanks for sharing with Crafting from the Heart!
Great designs, fun Challenge! I love that pretty snowflake die and the border edges, how fabulous!
They’re both beautiful and both designs work well. The centered version is a safe choice with its symmetry, but I quite like the twist of the off centre version.
I prefer them both! I love how you weaved the ribbon through the beautiful snowflake die (how could you have this beautiful die for years and not use it!) very clever and creative. The color and the sparkle are wonderful.
Hugs

Well you KNOW that I'm a huge fan of your creativity no matter which way you want to craft it Donna! :) I think my "eye" for asthetically pleasing is more like your hubby's, but the design is absolutely amazing with the sparkly ribbon and scallop edge design!! The background looks amazing too with the pretty speckled embossed background!! Sorry I'm late on commenting....I'm so far behind, but I promise I will be visiting EACH and every one of them my friend!! BIGGEST HUGS
Beautiful cards - I love the lace snowflake. Thank you for sharing at Winter Wonderland.
