WOYWW 185 and some fast Christmas cards

It's Wednesday!!!  Boy, it got here quickly!  I remembered about 4 pm my time yesterday and got it in gear to get ready for this post.  I was working on a few simple cards as I think I may run short.  But I digress...
Here's my desk.  After I made 7 cards using Simple Stories 25 Days of Christmas paper I worked on another free-standing Valentine card for a January class.  You can see the beginning of the card, my sponges some hearts, a Sizzix heart die, and a Cricut cartridge I borrowed to make some elements for this card.  I'm not sure yet how it'll turn out...


The cartridge has a pretty cool heart but it looks too detailed for what I have in mind.  After checking out my post I recommend you visit Julia's wonderful blog, the Stamping Ground, and check out not only her blog but the many crafters who take part in the blog hop.


I decided to show you the cards I made yesterday.  Believe it or not, there's NO stamping on the covers!  The stickers that came in the package are so cool I felt I didn't need to add any stamping except for the insides.  I did add Stickles on all 4 of these cards to add a bit of pizazz.


Here's one of the cards with the glitter.  I'll save the other 3 cards for a future post.
So please leave a comment and then click on Julia's blog link and enjoy a wonderful blog tour!

Thanks for dropping in yesterday - just catching up now. Like your storage for the sponges, mine end up in a plastic bag and then cross the colours.
Best wishes for Christmas and here's hoping for a peaceful New Year.

Lovely cards Carol, and at this stage too, I've about run out of puff! and am SO impressed that you're working on Jnauary, am ashamed to say that I haven't actually done more than a bit of planning.....hey ho, nothing like a deadline!
Happy Christmas!

Wow, its hard to believe there is no stamping on those cards! That must be a super kit or package that you made those out of. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods and thank you for stopping by my desk already and leaving me a comment! Deeyll #33
