To my surprise, one of the dies I discovered in the NBUS box was a small floral from Waffle Flower, Folk Art Floral. I don’t remember purchasing it, but it made the perfect flower for a Christmas card in the round. The Christmas Kickstart Challenge is Merry Go Round. After die cutting a few of the florals I made three Christmas cards. Two are this design:
After die cutting and assembling the floral, I die cut the largest of The Greetery’s Nordic Circles. The sentiment is embossed in gold from Penny Black’s Happy & Bright.
I added a gold pearl to the center of the floral, and three more below as an embellishment. It’s still a very CAS design.
For the second card, I layered the florals to create a more dimensional flower. The rest of the design remained the same.
In addition to The Christmas Kickstart Challenge, I’m adding this to Addicted to Stamps and More: Christmas.
Simple & elegant cards. I really like the circle of white to pop off the black base, it’s the stage for the festive elements.
What classy Christmas cards, Karen! That red flower is gorgeous in one layer or more! The black background sure makes that flower pop!
Love this ! so simple but it is so striking ! It just pops out at you .x
Oh, Karen, this is just perfect! Simple and stylish. Thanks for playing along with Gail and Jo at The Christmas kickstart, Jo x
Pretty Christmas cards. The die cut circle is so delicate and interesting. Love the pop of color with the flower and foliage. Thanks for joining us at Addicted to CAS.

Beautiful cards from that little set you found in your stash! Really like the contrast with the black card front!
