Hello, friends! Thanksgiving is over and our sights turn to Christmas. In my home it's more low-key these days, but the spirit and the young-at-heart delight is still evident. At Double D we're enjoying "Christmas Wrappings" of all kinds -- bows, ribbons, tags, packages. Even designer paper can become Christmas wrappings for our challenge. Just have fun with it!
Creative winners are by team vote, and there's a fabulous prize for a random winner:
I went with an oldie but goodie die for this one. It's an out of business Die-namites die called Hanging Presents. It couldn't be easier and I suppose that's why I've used it many times over the years.
Cut in gold and hung on Christmas plaid, it makes for a festive card with little effort. I placed the pop out pieces below each present with a couple more stars down by the sentiment. I could have made a bunch of these, but I'm terrible about producing multiples... it just doesn't happen.
Do pop over and visit the team at our Christmas Wrappings Double D Challenge. You'll love the samples and I hope you'll enjoy this theme as much as I did!
Happy holidays!

A perfect die for our theme and it turned out so pretty too, The plaid paper and the gold are a perfect match, what a great design!!!
Oh Leslie ... this is so, so pretty! LOVE those gold foil packages! Awesome holiday inspiration!
What a darling CAS card this is! The swirly swag of gifts look lovely in gold.
That hanging presents die cut in gold really make this card sparkle and shine! So pretty! And that plaid is perfection! Merry Merry!
I can see why you like this die so much Leslie...it makes a perfect CAS card!! The gold against the plaid is so festive and I'm loving how you used the little cutouts too! Sweet, sweet card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Such a festive diecut in gold anchored nicely on the plaid.
This is so cute and so simple. I like to do multiples, but can only do no more than five.
Leslie, every one of us needs a 'tried and true' die like this one - it's always perfect! [Unlike actually choosing presents... I gave up on that long ago!]
A fun card and wonderful inspiration!

It is always nice to get out and old favourite and make a simple card. Sometimes that is all that is needed and I really like this one. The little heart and stars are the perfect finishing touch xx
Lovely CAS card and I love the beautiful hanging presents die.

This dye makes a lovely clean and simple card and I can see how you would want to mass produce it. But I'm with you and my mass producing means making two at a time and probably no more than that. I love your Plaid with the gold and the simple merry Christmas with the additional gold hearts and stars. Happy Holidays
Very festive and pretty!! Love the plaid and the gold gold die cut.
What fun packages all in gold with that plaid strip! This shows that simple can be just as awesome as complicated!
This is a die that should be reached for every year, Leslie, it's cute! Great CAS design!
Beautiful Christmas card design! Everything is just so cheery and happy here ♥♥
Lovely and elegant CAS card! The red plaid is the perfect background for that pretty gold banner of hanging gifts.
You came up with the perfect die for this card, Leslie! I always love seeing what comes out of your stash. You know I love the gold and it's clever how you used the pop outs. The plaid is fabulous!
so pretty, like it cut from gold and a great design of the card for it!
Hi, Leslie! You have such a way of producing sweet, beautiful, elegant cards using fun elements that bring out the love oozing from your craft room! I have that die, and never thought of using it with the mirror cardstock. It's a darling die because the presents are busy in dancing! Wishing you a wonderful Christmas season, Leslie. Thank you for your friendship! love, de
