Two more Xmas cards

Ive been trying to get ahead with my Xmas cards this year but I missed several weeks in the summer so by making two cards each time Im hoping that I will be able to get ahead once again.
Todays two cards were made from ideas from Sue Wilson and they are created with her Snow Ice crystals and her "Let it Snow" dies, I have created them in red and blue and I also used one of her Embossing Folders for the first layer.
I hope you like the result.
These Cards are to be entered in the following Challenges:-

A Card for the Sugar Bowl Challenge

Good Morning Crafters, its been awhile since I used any of the Sugar Nellie images and I thought it was time that I did and I decided to use this young lady, I stamped onto white card then used coloured her with my copic pens, afterwards I used Nestabilitie Labels No.34 Die, and then used a fancy one for the mount. The sentiment also came from the same stamp set and this was also mounted on another of the Nestabilitie tag dies.
The base card is 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount of pink card the papers are from Nitwits "Possibilities" digi paper set, I have used three papers the first a very pretty flower background the second is lavender one and the third a pink.
The mounted image was then placed in the middle and the sentiment at the bottom on the right hand side. To finish of I have created a triple bow and attached it at the top on the left and then placed pearls down three of the sides and one large one on the bow itself.
This Card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-

A Christmas Card for Sundays with Santa Facebook Challenge

I cannot believe its almost a month since I posted anything on this No.2 blog, but its been a busy month full of things, firstly I had trouble with my right eye, I had a hole in my retina that needed lazering and then followup appointments, then the dog Missy was very ill, and yet more Vet appointments, then we had a week away in Guernsey with our friends which was absolutely lovely and the weather was so kind to us to. Also my eldest grandson arrived back from Afghanistan are a tour of duty there, Im just hoping that this will be his last trip hes already done 3 turns there so its time they let him stay home with his son Jacob, whos now walking and he does miss him so much. And the latest is my sweet great grandson Jacob has developed Chickenpox from his cousins so I have a feeling hes not a happy chappy.
Anyway todays card was created from a idea of Sue Wilsons but I have turned it into a Christmas card. I have used two colours of pale green and white for my design plus the poinsetta in the top left hand corner. The dies I used are also Sue Wilsons so I do hope you like the end result.

A Christmas card created for Sundays with Santa

Good Afternoon, yes I know its been along time since I posted a card here on my No.2 blog but as you will have probably already read that firstly I had my two grandsons staying for a week then my right eye had to have laser treatment due to a torn retina and for the last week we have been looking after our dog Missy who has been really ill, but due to the steriods shes now taking its quite amazing how much they cause a dog to feel hungry, my gran used to say "You lost your appetite and found a Donkeys" and shes certainly done that, we have to watch we done over feed her as she has another 5 days worth of the tablets to go before she finishes, just hope it doesnt revert to the problem we had before with her not eating.
Anyway todays card was created on a idea which Sue Wilson had, she made a slightly smaller card design but some unknown reason mine has come out a lot bigger, but Im not going to reduce it now it will stay the size it is and Im quite happy with the result.
The stamp is a Justrite one and the die also that it is cut out with and layered on, the other diecuts are Nestabilitie dies that have been cut down to create this square, and they are layered on snow ice from Cosmic Shimmer crystals that have been stuck to the card with the double sided sticky film also from Creative Expressions.
This Card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-
