'Merry' Card Duo

Hello my crafty friends

I have a pair of Christmas cards to share today, using up some of the bits and pieces from the Comfort & Joy patterned paper/sticker & element package I've been working on using up this year. Because I rarely post my cards in the same order I make them, on previous posts I mentioned using it up already. These two cards were made before those final ones but I chose not to re-arrange my blog posts at this busy time of year.

Grid dies are a great way to use up pretty paper scraps! 

The two elements were in the paper package, and I added some sparkle as well as Glitter Dots. The little inlaid heart/circle is from a Blueprints Die set and there is some sparkle on the white heart.

Here is a peek at the inside of the first card ...

For the second card, I used a Blueprints die set and a few more of the elements.

I love the Gumdrops (enamel dots) from Your Next Stamp and this sparkly green one was the perfect finishing touch.

Here is the inside of the second card:
