An alternative Christmas

This year I'm moving away from the more traditional Christmas colours for my cards, and here's a few "alternative" Christmas cards.

For the first card I used American Crafts paper in Thoreau and then matted a HOTP Word Fragment onto the reverse of the same paper. I added some star brads and some gorgeous American Crafts ribbon.

For this second card I used American Crafts paper in Homer to cover the card blank, and then on the reverse drew and cut out a Christmas tree shape. I then added a star brad to the top and some other brads for baubles.

For the third card I used HOTP Vintage Sarapapers and ribbon from the HOTP Icy Rainbow pack. The Merry Christmas and Snowman stamps are by A Muse and the scalloped squares were cut using this marvy punch.
