I love the CAS and the other "more is more" - remember that? :) Beautifully colored and fussy cut, and what stunning cards they are -- yet different.

LOVE the CAS design of your first card. The glossy candies are a wonderful detail to tie into the sentiment. Great design!!<br /><br />LOVE the second card. Why not make two while the supplies are out??!! Now you have more in your Christmas card stash. I've been trying to do that too. The mix of patterned paper with the image is so pretty. Love the tall size as well. But the ribbon is what I noticed right away ... so cool how you've added it. LOVE this very unique and creative detail. Must keep that in mind as I have a huge stash of ribbons that never sees the light of day. :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your first card with us at CAS Christmas! xx<br />Lollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15327427055906881318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726403261110080226.post-613321943424882842018-03-07T10:12:13.872-08:002018-03-07T10:12:13.872-08:00Wow!

Very pretty stamp and of course colored gorgeously! The peppermints I thought were brads as I have some, they looked so real!! I might just have to do this challenge myself, I saw they were going to start and then forgot about it, so thank you for the reminder. Good idea about the ribbon as I seem to use bows a lot (by spells) and they sure do add to the mailing cost, but I seem to keep doing it lol!!
