Christmas card in gold and pink

Using pink on a Christmas card is a bit out of my comfort zone when making Christmas cards, but Maja Design has so much beautiful Christmas paper, so I decided to go for it:
I have used papers from Maja Designs Vintage Frost Basic collection together with brown and gold cardstock. I used dies from Spellbinders Matting basics 6x6, Impression Obsession - poinsettia and the Snowflake Border from Precious Marieke. I used a few halfpearls from my stash, some stars that was scrap pieces from the snowflake border, some ribbon and a sticker.

A Christmas layout

A while back I made this Christmas layout. The picture is a from 2008 and is one taken by a photographer for our Christmas cards that year.
I have used papers from Maja Designs Christmas collections "A Gift for You" and "Home for the Holidays" and from "Vintage Frost Basics" plus some white cardstock. The 2 chipboard baubles are from Scrapiniec. I have used dies from Sizzix, Crealies and Precious Marieke. I used gesso and a stencil from Carabelle Studio for the scripture. All edges are distressed and I have used some silver thread, silver star half pearls and silver Stickles for decoration.

Here are a couple of close ups of the layout:

Christmas cards 2015 & 2016

I haven't shown my Christmas cards for the last 2 years, so here they are (at least the ones I could find pictures of).
2015:






And 2016:




From the pictures I can see that I have used dies from Sue Wilson, Spellbinders, Memory Box, Marianne Design, Precious Marieke, Impression Obsession and Dovecraft. I have also used some chipboard from Dusty Attic and some card toppers from DixiCraft. The papers are just different kinds I have in my stash.

I really need to get started on my Christmas cards and I also have plans about making gift tags, so maybe I should dedicate my next weekend to that, since Christmas is just around the corner.
