I have got this Dies Tree from Lisa in USA last two years ago and today I love to use it on my quick and easy card. I need some christmas card, cause my colleague in the office order it. This quick card finish for 10 minutes :)
I only sponged the edge of the card base and the green paper and gave some gold rheinstone and the sentiment is also Die Cutting with Gold paper. Meaning of Frohe Weihnachten = Merry Christmas.

Monika, these cards are both so pretty!!! I really like the sponged butterfly one because purple is one of my fav-o colors! And I love the texture you have going on in your first Christmas card. Thanks for playing at STAMPlorations (and for the sweet comment you left on my birthday blog).

ReplyDeleteWow!! How could I have missed this gorgeous purple butterfly design!! That is absolutely gorgeous and I love your stenciling work with it!! :) HUGS

A lovely, traditional quick and easy Christmas card with an elegant flair. I need more and more cards each year. So I'm thinking many of them need to be quick makes. But I'm a slow card maker, so I need all the inspiration I can get.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of using a die as stencil, looking gorgeous in purple, even though I don't make many purple cards, mostly because I don't have much purple in my stash, it's still my favorite color...
Oh, these are beautiful! I especially love the purple butterflies! Gorgeous stencilling! Brilliant idea to use the butterfly die-cut like a stencil! Your Christmas card is cute - the die-cuts are ideal - love the tree!
ReplyDeleteWow the Christmas card is beautiful. So simple but elegant. I love the placement of the half pearls. Of course your awesome postage die.
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly is awesome. The negative work is awesome. The vellum is a great touch. Very pretty card and colors. hugs
Wonderful cards Monika! Your butterfly card is so pretty & feminine, I love the colours you've used.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Thankyou for sharing your butterfly card with us at Creative Moments. I think I really need to get some more distress inks so I can use them like this (I really only have the neutral colours at the moment).
