I am posting the last of my Christmas cards from last year. Now got to get started making them for 2023. I used another Concord & 9th stencil for these cards, similar to the fall stencils I used. I was pleased with these stencils as well. So easy and so fun! I also got a Spellbinder's Glimmer Foil Machine for Christmas and made a December birthday card using it. I am loving it!

And this is the birthday card I made for a dear friend and my first card made using the Spellbinder's Gimmer Foil Machine. The foiling was amazing, the rest of the card, eh. The vision didn't turn out quite like I had in my head.
As always, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to see what I'm up too. I should be around very shortly to visit you as well.
Crafty hugs,

Your Christmas cards are gorgeous Brenda!! LOVE the beautiful images from Concord & 9th. All your designs are so lovely. I bet you had fun making these! What a wonderful treat to get a glimmer machine. Your first card using it is bright and beautiful with the rainbow-coloured leaves. So pretty and shiny! Happy New Year, Brenda! Love, Loll
Looks like you've had good luck right out of the gate with your Glimmer, Brenda! Wow, is that foil beautiful? Such a lovely wintertime birthday card.
All of your stenciled Christmas cards are fabulous! I'm especially loving those on the pink card bases - thanks so much for remembering us this year! xx

OH! Brenda, What beautiful and clever cards. Your Christmas cards are just gorgeous, I'm sure everyone loved them. Your foiling is just so beautiful, it may not have turned out as you thought, but it's still really lovely. I look forward to seeing more stunning foiling.
How lucky Dwayne's family is to have you do their wedding stationery, they know having you do them, they will be having the best.
Take care, My friend, and enjoy your makes.

Your Christmas cards are gorgeous! Been trying to get back to visiting blogs but have been having nothing but trouble getting on Bloglovin. Still not able to get on the site.
Have a great day!

Love all your Christmas cards here! They're fabulous. Okay, now you have me thinking about a glimmer machine. (Besides the cost...the other problem for me would be trying to find a place in my already over crowded craft area! Smile!
Very late in commenting here! Your Christmas cards are all gorgeous. The foiled one is lovely and colourful, makes a great birthday card. I never think to use my foiling machine, in fact I don’t think I even remember how!
