Christmas countdown - Festive Folk

Morning all!

Today's cards are a bit of a departure from my normal style.

But they proved a hit with friends who were after something different.

I've gone minimal yet folksy with the Fall Folk dies from The Greetery:

Stamp: The Greetery - Sentiment Suite: Christmas
Dies: The Greetery - Sentiment Suite Basics, Hero Arts - Infinity Nesting Rectangles, The Greetery - Big Branches Pine, The Greetery - Fall Folk

I basically cut the two different dies in the Fall Folk set so that they were rotated on the card front with space between to add the sentiment.

To get contrasting looks, I used dark on light for the first card, and light on dark for the other:

Stamp: The Greetery - Sentiment Suite: Christmas
Dies: The Greetery - Sentiment Suite Basics, Hero Arts - Infinity Nesting Rectangles, The Greetery - Big Branches Pine, The Greetery - Fall Folk

I used simple sentiments from The Greetery's Sentiment Suite Christmas set and simply added some bling in the form of crystals to the sentiment strips and some glittery pine branches behind the sentiment strips.

I think I will use this design again in future and possibly put patterned paper behind the cutouts.

Until next time, happy crafting!
