Whiter than White

I made a whole batch of these yesterday - they were quick to do and I like the CAS style - this week I have gone through various styles - Lots of frills to Vintagey/Distressed back to frilly and fussy and now on to CAS!! For a further change I opted to do 7 x 5 cards instead of my usual 6 x 6!
































Two cuttlebug embossing folders, white pearlised card, some ribbon to hide the join (lol), a die cut snowflake suitably blinged with lashings of glitter and a freebie sentiment with a few sparkly gems and voila!!

Last year I was so rushed making my own cards to send and I am hoping to be more organised this year - so the few made yesterday will swell my stash a wee bit.
I did them in two different colours - gold and silver and changed the sentiments on each so am keeping to my 'never make two the same' rule.

    Great use of your embossing folders Viv .. .. love how the ribbon covers the join.

    I am the opposite to you and always try to do more than one of the same so that my stock builds up more quickly LOL!!!

    Love Jules xx
