Karen has designed 3 fantastic cards, all completely different, great to see a Christmas card appearing on the line up.

Here is Karen's description....

"Here’s two cc The man one I’ve done before but have changed bits and decoupaged it differently this time All from Serif and a Tim Holtz die STRIPES:METALLIC:DIE CUT or BANNER 

The second was inspired by Lisa Horton on Hochanda The Flights of Fancy die has been cut from a PP background The other dies are SW too

YELLOW:DIE CUT:FREE

Karen's third card description:

METALLIC:DIE CUT:STRIPES

The sentiment is one of the new dies you showed today mounted on white which again is a die cut but I cut it into 2 and scored one part every 1/2 centimetre on my Hougie It’s a shame the photo doesn’t really pick it up and of course the metallic is silver mirri board and silver ribbon I had in my stash"

Thank you so much Karen for taking part and designing 3 amazing cards.
