If you tuned in yesterday these are the cards I was talking about. If not - a quick explanation. I misplaced the stamp I wanted to use for my card yesterday and had to do something else instead - then I found the stamp so I started again!! Still, they have boosted my Christmas Card stash. I am doing quite well and have actually got 52 cards ready now.
My Cards

My card bases are 15 cms square and I used ready made cards from Ryman. I usually make my own card bases from 300 gsm card stock but for Christmas cards I think these Ryman cards are pretty good value and sturdy enough to stand up.
I decided to use up old stash for my cards. I made both cards the same but changed the topper and backing papers. I used LOTV toppers that I have had for quite a few years. The blue paper is Dovecraft "Winter Wonderland", the green paper is Papermania "Traditional Christmas" and both have been in my stash for years. I used Memory Box "Frostyville Border" and "Snowflake Corner" to cut the glitter card, which again I have had for about five years. So I am pretty pleased with myself for using up so much of the old stash.
Hope this finds you all well and ready to face the week ahead. Take care.

Hi Christine, two stunningly gorgeous cards, the angels are beautiful and I love the colours and papers you've used, glad you had a good time at the Rally! Hugs Carole Z X
Good morning Christine. Your two cards are gorgeous, and great that you managed to use so much of stash you have had for a while. It's when I see the likes of your backing paper and think I have those papers. It's ok having them in all these great storage boxes, but you do tend to forget you have them, but what else can you do. Glad you had a good day out and managed to fine a lovely bag too. Enjoy your day. Hazel xx
Two fab Christmas cards Christine. I too intend to use old stash for my Christmas cards. Seems silly not to x
I love these cards Christine, great that you used your 'old' stash as well - I would if I could get to it!!! I agree with you - what would we do without Lili!
Big hugs to you both Sue Pxxx

Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Such an adorable card, Christine. I love those little angels. Thanks for joining us at Sunday Christmas Card Challenges.

Simply adorable. Don't think you can go wrong with the LOTV images and of course the sparkling MB snowflake border. Your DP made each card unique & so pretty. Glad you found the missing stamp & also that you have fun on your outing. Haven't ridden a Ferris Wheel for a long time. Nor eaten the cotton candy - which is probably the US name for your Candy Floss. It's pink, sticky - spun sugar and so sweet it makes the teeth ache after just a bite or two! But fun to have a couple slurps once in a while. TFS & Hugs.
Gorgeous Christmas cards Christine, Love the die cut & fabulous LOTV images...Beautiful designs.. Hugs May x x
Ooooh! These are lovely, Christine. LOTV knows how to make them cute and adorable. Must have those MB dies... my list is growing! :-)
hugs, Asha
BEAUTIFUL!! Both of them. I especially love how you colored the angels in the first one. I have the hardest time trying to make something look white lol. And I love the sparkle on the wings <3
Lovely cards. I love the cute images
