    I love a good blop “fop”… 😉 I love the gorgeous card. Night scenes are always so pretty and somewhat unexpected for cards.

    I always love your cards. This one is no exception. Your card designs are not “cluttered” with all kinds of “add-ons”. There is a definite focus to them.

    I love both those sets. I need both of them, because they are so flexible and can be used in so many ways

    Cathy, love the simple elegance of your card! It has all my favourite colours for Christmas (blue, white and silver) and two items that I love using in my cards – snow and trees!

  72. Sheri Kempke says

    Gorgeous card Cathy–your card features 3 things I adore–the color blue, the beautiful trees and the sentiment containing Joy and Noel! I think the “thing” I have for trees is due to my MN upbring, I miss all the wonderful trees and I now I live among the cactus. Thanks for the inspiration!

  73. Hollyce Weber says

    Cathy, this is a beautifully calming card. It brings me so much peace to just look at. Thank you for every video you take the time to share! You have become a regular on my playlist! I am in love with your trees stamp and dies set! Soooo thrilled to see it’s back in stock!

    Hello. What a beautiful card! The simplicity is just so regal!
    I just love ink colors that you used and your blending….well, I think I could use a few tips from you for sure. Thank you!

  83. Veronica L Hunt says

    Such a elegant card. I love how you used a white snowy background with a pop of color on top. Really great job.

  84. Valerie Hayden says

    Lovely inspiration for a winter/holiday card that could be done in quantity even if you’re a late starter! Nice to have a good card that won’t take three days to make.

  86. Wendy Nicola Jackson says

    Cathy this is so lovely. A serene and beautiful Christmas card. Love the cloche and sweet scene you created inside it! But I have to say your new Joyeux Noël die is fabulous (I’m guessing it’s yours, it has Cathy written all over it!) So gorgeous xoxo

    I love the blue hues! You are amazing Cathy! Thanks for sharing yourself and your talent. Love following you on YouTube!
