Greetings, friends! I couldn't let July get away from me without some Christmas cards, could I? The CAS Christmas Challenge reminded me to finally play with The Snow Notes from Spellbinders which I loved at first sight and promptly added to my not-yet-used basket... and there they sat until now.
The first is a solitary snowman, hopefully CAS enough for the challenge. I embossed with Tim Holtz Sizzix Snowfall folder and tucked him into a snow bank made with Poppystamps Stitched Cloudline.

The second card, below, is possibly my favorite. The two of them are belting out a song which I'm sure is their sentiments exactly. More of the Stitched Cloudline -- above them for clouds and below them for snow. The falling snow comes from the button holes of all six snowpeople.
Last, but not least, we have all three of them caroling their hearts out. The Starry Night is a Taylored Expressions cutting plate from way back. Hmmm... maybe this one is my favorite? I can't decide, not that it matters anyway. They look somewhat like they're caroling in the clouds. Snow angels?
The three carolers are representing The Snow Notes as my never before used schtuff in Darnell's NBUS Challenge #88 -- Mutual Appreciation Celebration. Check it out!
Total Christmas cards in the box: 20
This crafty interlude was a whole lot of fun! I balk at making Christmas cards this time of year, but once I sit down to it I really enjoy it, especially when I've got something cute to work with.
Thank you, everyone, for stopping by. Take care of yourselves and have a wonderful day!
