Some new Lil' Inkers dies 'happened' to land in my mailbox. With a tree; specifically a baubled tree. An incredibly cute baubled tree. Four more cards for my mom's Christmas Bazaar.
Simple and easy; nothing fancy pants whasoever. Two are paired with an embossed background and Simon Says Christmas die, cut from glitter paper; two are paired with patterned tree background paper, and the Christmas die, cut from my amazing foil paper. Tiny silver gems are added as 'ornaments'.
My cards are heading off to MUSE Challenge #93, where we're inspired by Therese's oh-so-unique Christmas tree seen below:
Therese, you will be missed over at MUSE...immensely!
I'm also sharing them at CASology #12~Festive
Thanks so much for dropping by; your visit and comments add sparkle to my day.

Love that die, Carol & such festive cards, for sure!
LOVE these charming trees, Carol! Great idea to use a textured and patterned background...they really make the trees pop, and I love the die cut sentiment! Looks like you're off to a great start with your cards :)
What fab die cuts Carol, and you get 2 cards from one die cut. :)
Funny how things just 'find' the way into mailboxes (wink). Your cards are fabulous, love how you have used the same layout and changed up the colours and patterns!
Lovely cards and what a great die. Thank you so much for joining us this week at CASology

These are so pretty! I love those Christmas diecuts! Who makes that?
Oh look at all the happy fun trees! I know these are going to sell like hotcakes at your Mom's bazaar! Love the cute lil Inkers one and those bottom ones made with that swirly twirly tree die are fabulous! These are so fun, it almost makes me want to make several of the same kind!! ((Hugs))
Fun cards, love the different colors. TFS.
Okay....I am 'solidly' kicking myself for not ordering this beauty! Placed an order the other day (exercising financial restraint) and this was one of the nixed items....bad move....really bad! Dang it all anyway!
Obviously I am smitten with your cards! Four delightful versions that take on an entirely different look by changing paper, colors and design. Yep, the bazaar ladies are gonna love these!!!
Amazing...just amazing and so so festive. I love all of them and that you used so many color combinations too. You mom is so blessed to have such a sweet daughter to make cards for her bazaar...I have to agree with some of your other commenters, these will sell so fast.

Yep, an incredibly cute die, Carol ... and wonderfully festive ... and made all the better by having you as it's owner and your amazing talent to make it shine ... these are all just gorgeous! Hugs, Anita :)
Love these cards, Carol! You already know that you're a girl after my own heart, but you've proven it yet again. Using both the negative and positive space is brilliant and by embellishing the background, you added _so much_ to the card. It's amazing how strong of an effect these little additions have. I'm sure that at your Mom's card bazar, people will be oooooohing and ahhhhhhhing over these. At least they should!
Oh stunning trees!!! Your mom will have PLENTY of cards!! Dies make it so easy to make lots of cards!! Love how festive and fun these are!!!
Four awesome trees, love how you used the scripty sentiment with that die!
fabulous trees! I love the holly jolly feel and seasonal colors!
Fun cards!
