The Christmas challenge in our stamp group was to use foil on our cards. This first die I had bought with my winnings from Penny black last year, I used mega flake foil to adhere to the joy die and the picture inside was also purchased from Penny black. I stamped snowflakes on the background and added a few more with my gel pen since the stamping wasn't showing up well.

Lovely cards! I had a friend send me some gold flakes, I have not tried using them yet. (They seem like they are a bit tricky to use?)
I love your deer card too, great layout and scene!
Oh Connie your cards are both just beautiful! You are so creative! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often. We appreciate your support!

Two gorgeous cards today Connie! I love the metallic elements you added to each of them. These are stunning!!
gorgeous use of foil connie, both are so joy filled!! i enjoy reading cards that start with joy or peace on earth...not just merry christmas over and over again!!
Connie, I'm agog! Your first card uses a PB Masterpieces Made Simple image inside the "Joy" die, but you're the master that put it together. The "Joy" wouldn't be nearly so breathtaking if you hadn't added the gilding flakes. It gives it such a beautiful vintage look, a bit worn, but still so lovely. And the wintry birdhouse scene inside, well say no more, you know how I love all things bird. The swirling snow scene with trees and deer is close to my heart as well. Oregon Firs are right outside my windows. No snow, but that's certainly okay. You are right on task with two more lovely cards for your Christmas stash!
Darn it, I forgot all about my Double D DT hat! Thank you for sharing with us in our Snow challenge!
So pretty and festive! Love that JOY card. Foli is so pretty on cards, lots of sparkle, lots of shine! I love that sweet snowy birdhouse too!
These are beautiful!
Love both of these - just beautiful! The foil on the JOY letters really makes them "pop". 😍
What a gorgeous Winter scene on this lovely card, Connie. Thanks so much for sharing your talents with us at The Four Seasons. We appreciate your participation and look forward to seeing you share your talents with us again soon.

So pretty, Connie - I love the foil - it adds such a nice glow. The winter scene with the deer is lovely with the swirly 'snow' in the sky. These would look so nice framed, too! x K
They are both so pretty xoxo
Gorgeous cards Connie, I love the shimmer and shine and cute birds and birdhouse and the deer grazing with what grass they can find, fabulous scene.

Two very nice cards.
All the best Jan
I don't know how you achieved that incredible texture beneath your foiling, Connie, but it is really rich looking! Your cards are fantastic! (and two down for this year's Christmas cards!)

I absolutely love that large JOY die cut and the incredible image you added to the O. Terrific die cut woods scene on your second card too.
Just adorable!
Both cards are lovely, but I especially love that big gold "JOY." The image inside the "o" is the perfect touch!
Beautiful cards, especially the first one. Love the image inside the letter "O", love the gold of the letters. Thank you so much for joining us at Peace on Earth.
