Hi Everyone, I was reminded I haven't added anything to my blog! Therefore, this is one of the many cards I have done recently, I certainly have been busy, with Christmas and birthdays. Also making little gesture presents.
Anyhow, my card today is for family abroad, trying to cut down on postage I stamped and embossed this card, a one layer, apart from the added bow! I have had this bauble for a couple of years at least and not used it before, the bow and twine stamps I had to have a few months ago and have used lots of it, especially on envelopes. The bauble and twine were stamped in red, and then I embossed the bow, twine, and sentiment in silver. I like the fact some red is showing through the silver on the twine.
As I write it is lashing with rain, high winds dark and miserable here, at least it's not too cold at 9C. I hope you all keep dry and warm this week.

Oh but you have Faith, I've seen it all! This is another really lovely CAS creation and know exactly where you are coming from with overseas postage, sent one to Kenya last month, kept it flat and still needed a mortgage for the stamps.

Lovely CAS, this bauble is really beautiful and sweet. Love the addition of the silver bow, so cute!
Also here rain again, and the cold has finally arrived.
Your bauble is gorgeous, thanks for sharing it. It is wet and windy here too and it is cold in my craft room because the wind seems to blow right through the window, don't know how that happens! xx
Dark freezing and torrential rain here after dense fog allnight and woke to hearing everyone scraping ice off the windscreens!!! Gorgeous card Faith and love the beautiful embossed bauble and twine.

Lovely bauble and twine Faith, it’s made a beautiful card. Same weather here but next week we are off on holiday so looking forward to some winter sunshine xx
This is beautiful Faith, I love these bauble stamps and stencils, they are so pretty and versatile.
Our weather here was same as yours yesterday, thought the rain would never stop and today looks gloomy, not to promising, fingers crossed we stay dry for a while.
Take care.xx

Hi Faith, such a pretty card, lovely bauble and colours. I'VE been trying to keep my cards flat too because of the postage.
We are in the minuses during the night, so very cold, keep cosy, Kate x
That's a great idea to put that sentiment on the ornament! What a great little CAS card that's about to embark on it's own little journey.
Hi Faith this is one beautiful festive CAS style card I love it

Faithie, you are becoming a CAS Queen, another good one! That's a cool twine and bow stamp and I like the red showing through the silver embossing! The other day I used a very old red stamp pad on a sentiment and it gave me too light an impression so I stamped over it with a fresher black pad. Long story short, I loved the effect, so am saving the old red pad, lol. I'm too frugal for my own good can we say HOARDER? Heeheehee Eat something good on Thursday so you can be too full and have indigestion just like us Americans, HAHAHA. 9C is really cold for me, every night this week has been 48F or colder here. We will warm up just a tad to day time high of 70F for Thanksgiving and more rain, then back down to that colder weather and maybe sun. I do feel almost ashamed to complain about it with my fellow Americans up north under 8 feet of snow. XOX
Beautiful card!!!
So pretty! Thanks for playing along at The Paper Players!
Such a beautiful floral Xmas card here Faith! I am sure it will be well received too. Lots of rain here also, hate it. Sorry it's been such a long time since I left any comments, ill health for myself and my OH lately, hugs Viv xx
A terrific Christmas card featuring the brilliant bauble. xxx
Lovely Christmas card, Faith. The bauble is so pretty!
It is super gorgeous Faith! I know what you mean about keeping things flat when they are being posted far. Stamps are a scary price now!!
Hi Faith - welcome! CAS cards are perfect for sending abroad and your bauble definitely fits the bill. Thanks for taking part in my CAS challenge over at The Paper Players this week!
I love that gorgeous ornament with the little touches of silver. I'm with you on flat cards. I love the look of multiple layers and lots of embellishments, but your card is the perfect showcase of how impactful CAS can be. So glad you shared it with us at The Paper Players this week

What a wonderful twine stamp and perfect as you say for posting. You've made a pretty Christmas card.
This is a wonderful Christmas card.
What a lovely creation Faith, yes we have to think of the postage now days, especially abroad. Yes weather here is dry one minute and running down the roads the next.

What a beautiful CAS card Faith! I am loving that bauble, but it is that twine bow that I am really loving! Yes, it is a busy time of year with lots going on for sure. We had rain all day and evening yesterday with high winds, rain is done...I think, just cloudy...but the rain comes back on Wednesday. I will take the rain over the snow/ice though! lol Our temps are on the warmer side as well. The wind...that I could do without! Hugs, Brenda
Beautiful card Faith, so elegant..
luv CHRISSYxx
