Spellbinders Joy Christmas card and Papertrey Ink Mistletoe Christmas card

 

Hello friends, and welcome to the new challenge at ABC Christmas Challenges.

This time there are 2 themes, 

U for Uncluttered

and/or 

V for Vertical

If you want to join us, you can choose either theme, or both if you need to get working on your Christmas pile.

I came up with these cards using older things in my stash that needed some love, as I haven't used them in a long while.

U for Uncluttered CAS

I stamped and die-cut the mistletoe from Papertrey Ink and added a bow from Clearly Besotted. The sentiment is also from Clearly Besotted. I used a Papertrey Ink canvas impression plate on the background card to add a little texture, but keep an uncluttered look. To finish off, I added some tiny pearls as berries.

V for Vertical

For this one, I cut a stitched rectangle and some pretty paper and layered them onto a DL card base. I used the Spellbinders vertical Joy die, cut from red card and added it to the base. The die set has small flowers and leaves, and I cut several of these and added them here and there. For the JOY letters, I cut several white ones for stacking so they would stand proud of the base, and topped them with some red holographic card to make it pop.

I'd like to play along at:-
