I can’t believe it will be November in a few days! Christmas is going to sneak up on me this year – I just know it! I best get busy on some Christmas cards!
I made two last evening, both using The Paper Players Sketch Challenge #219 as my inspiration.
I can’t decide which one to enter into the challenge….
For both of these cards, I used the Stampin’ Up Ornamental Pine stamp set with various Christmasy DSP and heat embossed the sentiment with gold onto vellum.
So two more done, and……
….how many ever more I make….. left to go!
That’s how we roll

Life in between 🙂
Cheers & Hugs,

Both are so beautiful and so well made! I like the first one more because of the simpler bow…only my personal opinion.

You are so talented Jodi! I can’t decide which I like the best..your cards..recipes..or writing. I love coming to visit your blog, and today I am here from PP again.
Both cards are awesome, I cannot choose which one of those I like best, either! I’m a big fan of plaid, so I am drawn to the first, but then again I love the colors and sparkles on the second. I love them both!
Thanks for joining us this week at The Paper Players!

Both are really delightful but you already know this because of everyone else providing feedback.
If I had to narrow it down, I’d go with the second! Pinecones and glitter. Love it!

Gorgoeus cards, as always, Jodi! The plaid is just a natural mate to the pine stamp isn’t it? And well, sparkles make any holiday card even better! Lovely cards, both of them! So glad you joined us at The Paper Players!

They’re both beautiful and it’s hard to decide which one to enter. My vote is for the 2nd one with the red bow. Good Luck!

Jodi, I am not sure which I prefer. I immediately fell in love with the traditional Christmas colors and then scrolled down and found the neutral one! They are both fabulous. I’ve gone backwards and forwards on my decision and I vote for the traditional colors. No, wait! Maybe the other one… Heck. I can’t make up my mind – they are both fabulous.
So glad you joined us at the Paper Players this week

I love both cards Jodi for different reasons: the paper of the first one really brings out the green of the pine and the red of the ornament, yet I lovely the country feel of the second one – it’s a tough call! Thanks for joining us over at The Paper Players this week!

Both Christmas cards are wonderful. The first card is bright and cheery with the plaid and bold because of the ornament. But my choice is card #2 because of the subtleness and red bow. It reminds me of a traditional Christmas from long ago when times were simpler. Very difficult choice for sure. I especially like that you are having a difficult time deciding. It means you can see and appreciate what you do!

Lovely and creative cards. I love the first one. I wish to make my own cards someday. I used to make homemade cards on my computer with real family pictures I scanned.
