Good morning friends, followers and visitors..
Trying to make Christmas cards which are flat for mailing! boy this is hard for me..lol.
I decided to make DL (UK) size cards one 4.1/4"x 8" and one 4" x 8" as I purchased a pack of red envelopes from a craft show in DL size..
These two cards use the same dies from Poppystamps.. myself I like the blue one, white card coloured with Distress ink "Stormy Sky", my husband likes the red pearls on this white on white card. both flat for mailing.
Main card shape using Tattered lace "Essentials Tags" Second largest die.
Poppystamps Crystalline corner on this design, has not been cut on the card corner! I shaded through with ink before removing the die.
Coloured my white card with ink, then die cut "Home For The Holidays Wreath" also did this for Bow & String die. Joy I stamped onto Stitched Circle Layers, then adhered the wreath die cut onto this.
I cut the corner die out of this card, then dry embossed in a embossing folder the top. Noel from "Noel & Snowflake" glued to Classic Ribbons. finished with red pearls and gems.
Thank you for stopping by today and any comments you care to leave..Pam xxx

Morning Pam, I love both these cards, ideal for mailing, and so, so beautiful. I have never made one DL card before !! I really must give this a go !!
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Beautiful cards and I love them both. I like tehe blue one for the ice colour but the red one is also beautiful!! Love Marijke.
Hi, Pam! Thanks for the fantastic design ideas using your DL scale. We call that a Business Size card because it fits in those size envelopes. Both are beautiful! Who would not enjoy receiving one? LOL I especially like the shape in your blue card, but the colors in the red? Does that mean I get two votes? LOL
PS I forgot to say that they are gorgeous - that's a given, right? LOL XOXO
Stunning DL cards Pam and I too like the blue one..

Hi Pam your cards are gorgeous I love the designs and the dies are amazing. Thank you for all the inspiration. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Gosh, I love both of them! The blue wreath and tag shape and different elements are really pretty, but then look at all the different things on the red/white card that make it extra special -- the snow-embossed background, the white on white snowflake corner, the sentiment flag, the little heart on the bow. I keep going back and forth. Both so gorgeous!
Wow Pam these are gorgeous. Sue x
Hi pam, I love them both, hard to pick a favourite, but perhaps the blue just edges it. My husband would have picked the red though. I bought some of those red envelopes at the show too - just used some of them up with the club last week. Love DL cards, and these are gorgeous.
Hi Pam, you created very beautiful flat cards. The deco looks fantastic with the glimmer shine.

Hi Pam,
what gorgoeus and stunning creations yet again.
They may be smaller and flatter than your usual ones but the detail is all there and so very stunning.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

Two dreamy cards that are so beautiful. I can't decide which one I like best they are both unique in their own way. I hear you about making cards mailable. I just mailed a 3-D Thanksgiving Day cards from Canada to my family in the United States, and it cost me triple the cost to mail them. Ugh!
So dainty, lady like, classy!
Hello Pam tow gorgeous cards, these are beautiful dies and such fabulous design too, Kate x
Pam both of the cards are beautiful, I also prefer the blue one......lol...

Have a wonderful weekend.
hugs

Wow, these are beautiful Pam. Simple, yet fancy. Soft, yet fun and festive. Well done.
I like both cards I must admit I forget to us DL cards, but these do inspire me to get mine out of the cupboard. xx
I don't know how anybody can come up with so many wonderful ideas -- you ought to publish your own magazine and with tutorials in it!!
