By the time this hits the airwaves, I'll be on my way to spend the day with our Hostess for this month's CAS Christmas October 2021 - Gray and Red Challenge!! Yippee for a day of play with Marcia!!
Remember the sentiment from The Stamp Market I used the other day? It worked its charm on my card today! But it appears to have been discontinued in their shop - how can this be? It's so cute...
Another piece from Teresa Collins Candy Cane Lane - for the perfect candy cane sentiment!
My little Holly leaves were cut from a sheet of paper stamped with an MFT sweater-knit background
stamp - in CP Twilight ink. I've also used another of these wonderful Waffle Flower Crafts' cover panels!
Here's another - one that's not quite CAS enough - but using another Pinkfresh goodie: Merry Little Christmas Cling pop out ... with the Holly Jolly shadow layer cut from vellum!
My photos seem to be rather dark - either the light from the time of day, or user error? At any rate, I hope you like them just the same!
Thanks so much for visiting! Better get this one posted and hit the road!!

Hope you had a fabulous time with your friend. :) And created lots of cards. :) These are beauties! So light and bright and full of holiday spirit. You are so good at making cards, Michele. Happy Sigh and crafty hugs.
Such a contemporary and striking first Holly Jolly card and the prettiest of second one Michele x. Fabulous how you've made the die cut sentiment look so very different. Enjoy your day with Marcia...Have fun x.
Michele, beautifully done cards. Love the script and the designs. The reds really pop.
Oh Michele...I'm loving both of these cards! Your Holly Jolly SHINES in both of the cards and I'm loving all the red and gray details in both of them too! Isn't gray such a wonderful color and I just LOVE how red pops off of it! FABULOUS cards my friend and thanks so much for playing along with us at CAS Christmas AGAIN!! Hugs. Marcia (DT) :0)
Both are stellar!!
This challenge had your name written all over it, M, and your newest designs show that perfectly! They are both simply gorgeous! Give Marcia a hug from me!! Hugs, D (CCCC GD)
You're a red & grey master. The sentiment looks perfect in that red/white stripe especially surrounded by that cover die and those sweet stamped holly leaves. The red color match between the patterned paper and enamel dots is right on, too. And that sentiment looks just as good with the floral frame and birds. Like I said, a master.
OMGosh, Michele...you're teasing us with this fabulous sentiment! I wonder if they would consider offering it again :)
I love all the dimension you added on the first card with the cover panel and those candy cane stripes are 'to die for'! Your 2nd card is also beautiful! I love the crisp clean lines on this sentiment...perfect with all the holly, berries, and birds! Thanks so much for playing along with us at CAS Christmas...We always enjoy seeing your creations in the gallery!
Two fun Christmas cards, Michele! Love that sentiment and both the candy striped and thin red treatment! Your gotten two completely different looks with this die just on this post! I know you had fun with Marcia! I'm envious of you both!
These are GORGEOUS!! You are rocking that fabulous sentiment. I love the candy cane you used on the first and the adorable images on the second.
Those peppermint stripe letters are extra festive! Love the folk art look of the second one. Two pretty cards. Wish I could have joined you ladies for your crafty day ;)
Fantastic! I love, love, love the candy-striped sentiment and cable knit leaves -- so unexpected
Two gorgeous Christmas cards, great use of the red and grey, I just love the candy cane looking sentiment! So glad you joined the gallery at CAS Christmas, Cathy x
Such beautiful and fun cards, Michele. And speaking of fun, have a great day with Marcia. Wish I could be there too.
Seriously, did Marcia choose these colors especially for you? Inquiring minds want to know! Both of your cards are so delightful! Really wistful when I read about your playdates. Since I stopped purchasing Paper Pumpkin and SU in general, my playdates have just dried up. BUT is probably just as well... it takes me sometimes 2 weeks to make a card! Haha
Two fabulous cards Michele. LOVE the fun Holly Jolly die. So perfect with the red striped paper. And love the stamped knit sweater on the leaves. Love of texture from your background as well. The second card is beautiful ... love the gorgeous flowers, leaves, and adorable bird! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Christmas!
Sorry....ik had allen gezien dat het CAS moest zijn!
Jullie mogen mijn kaartje gerust verwijderen hoor.
Groetjes Diny
Wonderful cards, Michele! I love the style of the sentiment on both! The red and white stripes are so fun with the patterned holly!
How fun you got a play date with Marcia Michele!!! I'm sure she enjoyed it as much as you did. Lots of laughs I'm sure! I am loving your gray and red cards, they are so festive and fun! As well as creative. Hugs, Brenda
Love both of these and I think it's so fun that they scream Stamp Marker before I even read your post!
Two amazing cards, your candy cane lettering is awesome and the background for the second is stunning ♥
Both cards are so pretty and festive, Michele! You used the sentiment die in totally different ways. I love the candy cane sentiment and the sweater-knit holly leaves! Great use of the cover panel, as always! Thank you for joining us again at CAS Christmas!
I'm sure you had fun with Marcia. Looking forward to seeing your new cards made at her place! :-)

Wow these are gorgeous! And why would they ever stop making that fabulous skinny holly/jolly?!?
LOVE your use of red and gray - peppermint stripes, sweaters and all of the fun images on the second card!!
