"Christmas Blessings"
For my first card I used a Sizzix embossing folder and embossed the white top layer. I layered it on a layer of Always Artichoke and then a card base in Cherry Cobbler (both from Stampin' UP!).. then I pulled out some Poinsettia flowers and leaves that I believe my mom bought for me some time ago.. finally getting around to using them.. in fact when I seen the embossing folder in Hobby Lobby the other day, I knew right away what I wanted to do for a card using these flowers. I put three gold brads in each one. The "Christmas Blessings" sentiment is from a Hero Arts Christmas set. I used Dimensionals on this card.. what would a card be without dimensionals??

Oh Pam, your white embossed card is just stunning! I haven't seen that embossing folder but I sure will keep my eye out for it. Your other card has so much pretty layering. Great job on both cards
Pam I love both cards. The first one is just stunning. You did a great job, so simple but elegant. Happy hopping and GO PACK!
Those flowers are beautiful.
Airborne...all the way! Wonderful work Pam! You have both elegance and whimsy here!
that is gorgeous - I think I have poinsettas somewhere that need to be used. Love the tree card also the stamp just sets it off perfectly.

The embossed oval makes the poinsettia card so elegant! Love the trio of brads in the flowers.
The flowers are beautiful with just a touch of sparkle. Keep up your amazing work. I have always do multiples but I am starting to have everything laid out as you do when I do my multiples.
Your poinsettias are STUNNING!

both of your cards are just wonderful!
Lovely cards ! Very festive
Oh, what beautiful cards. I love the first one and how you creted. Thanks for the inspiration.
Both of your cards are beautiful, simple but beautiful. I love the concept of the layers - now why didn't I think of that. And the simplicity of the embossed oval is great - I had those some flowers, until last year when I used them on my Christmas cards - now I can't find them again! :) Thanks for sharing.
I love that white card with the pointsettias! I love that you put 3 brads in the centers! I will also have to look for that embossing folder - its so eye catching!
Cute cards! I really love that embossed oval!
I love the way you combined the embossed oval with the flower placement. Thanks for posting a donation link and thanks for hopping!
Wow, your Poinsettia card is gorgeous with all the white space and embossing! Your next card is just cute, cute, cute! Elegance and whimsy all in one blog post - way to go :)
Beautiful cards. The first one is so stunning - absolutely gorgeous.
Wow. I was going to tell you how stunning that poinsettia card is, but several other have already beaten me to it! GORGEOUS! Thank you for sharing.
Ab-so-lute-ly STUNNING. Your poinsetta card with the embossed frame and placement of the poinsettas to further frame the simple sentiment. Your second card is a great take on layering, different sizes and directions...making me think I'll have to try that layout style!
Pam - You are outdone yourself and I totally LOVE your cards! The first one is so classic and such a lovely design!!
Thank you for always visiting me and for ALL that you do for OWH!!
Happy World Cardmaking Day!!

What a beautiful white card .. I have seen embossed ovals like that before but was not really inspired to try them. What a great thing you accomplished with them! Love it. What a great hop-stop! :)
I'll say it again, even though others have said it. That poinsettia card is gorgeous! It makes me want to use silk flowers on a card.
Love the silk poinsettias and the tree card is lovely as well. Such beautiful work!
Thanks for taking part in the OWH hop today!
I just absolutely love the white embossed card. It is very classy.
The poinsettia card is my favourite, so clean, crisp and love the way you have used 3 brads for the middle of the flower
That first card is absolutely stunning! Both are perfect for this hop! Wonderful work!
Beautiful cards. I am going to have to case the first one with the flowers. I have been wondering what to do with the set I have. Thanks for sharing.

Your cards are wonderful, but I am partial to the first card. It is absolutely beautiful! I love the embossing and the flowers. I emboss everything in sight, so I will be watching out for that folder! :)
Your first card is a stunner! I literally like everything about it! The font of the sentiment, the layers, the EB folder and those poinsettias are gorgeous! Thank you and your family for your service and thank you for your support of OWH and all our Heroes!

Great cards! I love the elegance and clean design of the first one. The other one is so pretty too.
Fabulous cards! The white one is soooo elegant (love the trio of brads you put in each flower) and the tree card is so vintage and heartwarming.

Pam - super stunning! The first one is so elegant!
The poinsettia card is simply, stunningly elegant. What a classic layout for it. It's just all-around excellent!
On the second card, I like how the tree on the tag mimics the designer paper. Nice!
Pam, these are both beautiful! I love the simple embossed frame on the first card combined with the grouped flowers it's so dramatic and striking. Thanks for joining in the hop and your dedication to Operation Write Home.
