Hi Everyone
The Giveaway previously listed here is now closed.
You can see a summary here and winners will be announced on December 9, 2012
“Deck The Halls” Card
I created the “swing card” base using this Cameo file from Lori Whitlock, but it is easy to cut by hand too. Take a look at this great online template from Beate Johns.
The green chevron print has a clean and modern style and the ultra simple decoration is all that is needed to make this card really striking. Hint – Don’t be afraid to trim your stickers to fit your projects. Sometimes it’s nerve-wracking to do that – but de-sticky the backs with talc first and you can play around with the placement before re-gluing into your chosen position.
Using foam dots to mount small elements helps add some extra dimension to your card.
“Merry Christmas” Card
This card has the same base created from the fabulous Ultra White Felt Carta Bella Cardstock. If you are creating card bases with your Cameo – I have to say that this cardstock cuts like a dream! It’s very thick and textured so I was skeptical as to how it would work – but it’s absolutely my number one choice for digital cutting.
This time I chose a red print as the base and then added some “busy print” papers for a richer look. Once again I have cut down some stickers to fit and added an inked wooden “25” for extra interest.
These cards are not only simple to make, they fold flat for mailing and are just different enough to stand out in a sea of festive goodness!

A zutter Bind It All would be delightful, but I don't know if Santa knows this is what I want!

SOOO easy! I want scrapbooking goodies, but since my boyf.. uh.. SANTA wouldn't know where to start and would certainly feel really lost in my LSS, i usually make it easy for him and ask for a gift card! 🙂
Love your cards, they are so festive! I want Santa to bring me an iPad!
On my wish list this year is an ipad mini.
Lowri, you always have the most fun and interesting card on your blog. I love the 3D element here. I'm hoping Santa leaves a train track for my little one. That's all I hear about these days! If baby's happy, momma's happy!
I'm hoping Santa brings me "This and That Christmas" goodies. hahaha I'm hoping for gift cards, because like Nicole, my husband pays no attention to what I do, so would have no clue as to what to get me.
I hope Santa leaves me some more new Copic markers under the tree!!!
I'm just hoping Santa will leave me something – of course something to do with scrapbooking would be even better
I am hoping for anything to do with my crafting life.
Hi& thank you so much for the great giveaway series… I am hoping santa puts a new pair of soft snuggly socks under the christmas tree this year. May not be big, but on cold days it's just right!
I hope Santa brings my children what they want (which isn't much). I need for nothing.,
Santa can bring me anything for my scrap room but I'd love him to bring my whole family together – we have been together only once in the last 20 years as my bro lives in USA. This year my parents are spending Christmas with them.
A magic wand maybe…
I'm hoping that Santa knows I love to craft and will bring me some awesome supplies~

My wish couldn't be fulfilled by Santa. My husband has been gone for over 9 years but I'd love to be able to spend one more day with him – to tell him goodbye properly and fill him in on everything that's happened over those 9 years.

GREAT post today on two very different styles with one simple design. Thanks so much!
My other crafting passion is sewing and especially quilting so I am asking Santa for a AccuQuilt Pro.
I actually can't think of anything for Santa to bring.
I hope Santa will be leaving me lots of crafting supplies!
I would love to have a Cameo. I'm amazed by the things you can create with it.
I am praying for a cameo but will be happy with any scrappy gifts!!!
