Going Blingless

Yesterday's cards made me so happy, but I realized that my bling stash is shockingly low, and if I wanted to make more copies of that card, they'd have to go blingless.

Whatever is a girl to do?!?!?

Well, I thought about Papertrey's Out on a Limb set, which contains a small three-berry cluster stamp, pulled it out, and gave it a try. While the results are not quite as pleasing as the bling (how would blingless ever be better than blinged?), I must admit to making ten of these in record time, smiling all the while!

And now I'm finished showing you Christmas cards I have made for at least three months. Cross my heart.

Have a lovely weekend. We're going furniture shopping, washing the dog, and taking our Christmas picture (hopefully!).

    Perhaps a wish-pered suggestion to Santa that bling makes lovely stocking stuffers???

    I like these 2 nearly as well as the blinged ones. That surprises me. But in a mass mailing of cards, the blingless would be a very economical alternative, without sacrificing loveliness. Which these cards are. And you used my absolute favorite Christmas sentiment, so I'd automatically love this anyway.

    This design appeals so much to me. I think I'll use it to fill out the last of my cards (which should have been sent by now...) :-)

    I thought yesterday's cards were beautiful, but I like the blingless ones even better (shocking!).

    Absolutely beautiful as always. The simplicity of this design is rather elegant, don't you think?

    The blingless ones are just as beautiful! And I always wonder if the bling stays put in the mail or if it falls off by the time it gets to the recipient - no worries with these cards!

    I have to admit I like the blingless better. That may be because I'm not as bling happy as you (the post office is not always friendly to the blingy cards.) I also like the darker green...I am really a traditionalist.
