12 Days of Christmas Cards

 Warning:  this is a long post with quite a few pics!  But it's worth the scroll, I assure you. ;) 

I participated in Justine Hovey's 12 Days of Christmas Cards this year.  I tried to recreate each one with the supplies that I had but missed a couple.  Here are my takes on her cards... 

Day 1 - Justine's inspiration... 

I didn't get one made for day 1 because I didn't have either a stamp or die that I thought was anything close to what she used.  I could have adjusted the card, but didn't have the time to do so. 

Day 2 - Justine's inspiration...

My card...

• Hobby Lobby Wintergreen DP
• Poppystamps Snowflake Background
• Pink and Main Merry Christmas

Day 3 - Justine's inspiration...

My card...  this is my absolute favorite of them all!  It's so beautiful IRL!!! 

• Spellbinders 3D Scenic Poinsettias EF
• Poppystamps Delicate Poinsettias (smallest flower) 
• Free sentiment die from ??
• Poppystamps Orchard Leaves (could have cut another flower in gold and used it, but had these adhered before I thought of that)
• TH Small Tattered Flowers + center from SnSS Small Snowflakes

Day 4 - Justine's inspiration...

Day 12 - Justine's inspiration...

I have no large floral or decorative background stamps so didn't make this one. 

It was so much fun to see her cards and to try to use my stash to create something similar.  

I suggest you find some cards you love, go through your stash, find what you have that can create something similar.  It's fun and inspiring!!

Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!
