I'm popping back in with a quick post for Just us Girls #704 - Carol has chosen red and green this month for their color challenge - perfect timing, my friend!
I was so tickled to see MFT bring their Santa's Elves set out of the vault this week - always a favorite of mine! It's so old the metal dies are NOT outline dies! But I don't let that bother me. My card uses one of the wonderful gifts I received for my birthday - can you believe that gorgeous, embossed texture?? Thank you, Bonnie - and for not minding if I used the elf set, too! wink.
You know my rule at Christmas: if you make one, you might as well make TWO!
Those wonderful papers are from Honey Bee's Holiday Wishes and were included
in my gift from Tom - more on that soon!
I attempted to make a few more 'masculine' cards for the seniors this year.
I better get that little elf in the gallery before the door closes! Hope your week has been great so far - if not tomorrow's FRIDAY! We can do it!

I knew you'd put that embossing folder to good use and I wasn't mistaken! It is perfect for this sweetest of the elves! I like your card better than mine! And I love how you've used this beautiful die cut deer again! Keep that inspiration coming, my friend!
I always kicked myself for not buying the dies for these elves, they are sooo sweet, and I LOVE that they are out of the vault! Awesome colouring my friend!
Total cuteness with that elf! As usual, wonderful cards - Thanks for joining in at JUGS!
Love your cute elf card and the lovely texture from the special embossing folder from a friend. I have those elves and the dies to match (love them).The second card is lovely too.
Beautiful embossing folder and an adorable elf! Love your card with the deer also!
Your little elf is perfect, even without it being an outline die. So darn cute! Wonderful gift from Bonnie looking so good in the background. The sentiment is my wish for everyone this Christmas.
Oh that elf! Who knew those ears were perfect to keep your hat from slipping over your eyes!!! Adorable!
Two delightful red and green cards, Michele! That little elf is a doll but that embossing folder caught my eye, what a beauty it is! So happy to spot your fabulous card in our JUGs gallery! Tom did a little crafty shopping for you!!??... what a guy!!
A duo of delightful cards, my incredibly talented friend! I have several sets of non-outline dies and, as you mentioned, they're still a delight to use. I'll take dies of any sort rather than fussy cut! Your elf really is a sweetie! Thank you so much for sharing your smile-making creativity over at JUGS!
hugs~
You've just reminded me that I haven't pulled my elves out yet this year...need to remedy that! Your little guy is ADORABLE and I love your embossed background too!! Your deer card with the red and green dsp is wonderful too!! Awesome cards my friend!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Love, love, love those sweet elves! I love to use them too but try to control my urge to over-indulge ;0)
Your second card is equally adorable with your handsome deer
LOVE that little elf....how sweet he looks against that gorgeous background! And your deer is a dear!!! That knit-look paper is amazing!
You're reminding me that I need to get my set of elves out too and have a play! These guys always make me smile and your little guy is no exception! He's colored beautifully in the red & green and really POPS against the wonderful white on white background!! Sweet, sweet card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
That elf is SO cute and looks wonderful atop your fantastic new embossing folder. The deer card had a lovely traditional feel to it. Thanks so much for sharing my friend. Enjoy your weekend!!

I too am a fan of the elf set. Sweet card love the texture and no2 is a winner too.
I think those elves are everyone's favorite, Michele. That embossing folder is wonderful for his backdrop. Love the mix of patterned paper with the elegant deer.
Love the elf, and the background is absolutely wonderful. Love the deer card too. Very versatile for the seniors... wait, I am one too! I often forget that...
AWESOME cards Michele! LOVE the first card ... so so cute with a fabulous embossed background! Such amazing inspiration ... thanks!
Those little elves will never go out of style. I am in love with that embossing folder you used behind the little guy. Your second card is perfectly masculine and will make some senior smile big. Two great cards Michele!
Love both of your cards, but that embossing folder is gorgeous!!!
Love those traditional colours. They are perfect for each other xx
You are so right about these little elves - super cute - but then anything Birdie Brown drew was super-cute. Fabulous cards!
