Time Out #46 - Reminder

There is still time for our current Time Out Challenge - the last one of the year. Here is the wonderful inspiration photo:

Our guest designer this week is the wonderful Sonja - make sure you check out her designs at The Art of Stamping. 

For my first card, I went glitter crazy - and I glittered the die cut and embossed Tim Holtz wreath in red and green. I just love this die and embossing folder set - it does all the work :) I added the die cuts to a white textured card front and added a few gold stars for decorations. The greeting was created using my laser printer and Minc machine. One of the main reasons that I invested in the machine was so I could create greetings for our friends and family around the world - this card is for some good friends in Austria.

My second card was made from "leftovers". The foil circle wreathes were from the cards I shared last week and the layered "joy" was made from the leftover positive die cuts that I had from another holiday card (you can't see it in the photo but they are layered four high!). I layered these leftovers onto a textured card front to which I added some Stardust glitter to a stripe of adhesive tape. 

I will link up to a couple of places:

• Virginia's View Challenge - all about glitter
• Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - focusing on Die-cember

Thanks so much for stopping by!
