Meet the "Bobsy Twins". Choe and Cooper.Cousins but so much alike, more like brother-sister. Both dirty tomato sauce faces, scratches and bruises on their legs, blond, funny, boisterous, lovable and the list goes on.
After I cut out the shape in Basic Grey I bugged it , sanded it and then inked it so the white, green and brown shows up.
This card would be good to slip a lottery ticket, movie pass, gift voucher etc into. 
Showing the card opened. You don't have to punch the circles into the card. It can be left plain.
Pansies are for thoughts.I always love the flower Pansy as it reminds me of my Father. He was on a job once and saw these Pansies and picked them and brought them home for me. I still have them as I pressed them and kept them from when I was around 15yrs old.
Here is another fun Christmas Tree to make for a card. I used a FISKARS ruler to tear strips of patterned paper. I glued the strips onto cardstock and then on the backside drew this shape freehand and then cut it out.
I couldn't help myself and have done 2 cards for the one challenge. I was half way through this one when the challenge came up and so have finished it for the Cuttlebug Challenge.

I have put a lot of cards on today as I have had a bad week this past week and couldn't get them up.
This shows you the technique I used to make the Border Punched Christmas Trees.
This tree has been made the same way as the previous Tree. Notice I inked (Silver Versa Cube) the bugged background and used 3D Kindy Glitz without the glitz on the tree as decorations.
I used Martha Stewart border punch for this tree. I was playing with the leftover bits from other cards and laid them on top of each other.I glued them in place then cut the tree from a triangle.Easy as.
This one was made using the pleated ribbon on wide double sided tape. Very easy.
Here are some more Christmas cards made with the same products as the previous ones. Very easy and quick to make.
Here are a variety of cards I have been playing with from the same cardstock and patterned paper. I have made about 10 and will share more during the weekend. Very simple and easy to make. It's been like a production line.
Seems like mauve was the in colour this year at the formal. Lots of the guys had mauve shirts on. I don't have many mauve things.

2. Fold it from corner to corner so the hill fold is on the side that will face outward.
3. Fold it from the other corner to the other corner, once again a hill fold.
4. Open up and this is how the folds should look.
5. Turn the paper over and fold down the middle. This should only be done once.
6. Turn over and squeeze the ends inwards.
7. Fold the top flap down.
8. Fold the other top flap down.

Look at the beautiful card Carol sent me for Christmas using the new HSN folders. It is so beautiful. Thank you carol.
I have had an awful cold the past week and lost my voice yesterday. I almost have it back now.
I made these cards the same way as the black ones I showed on here previously. I love these ornaments and it is now my new favourite folder.
I have these sheets of metallic foil that has a sticky back. I bugged the foil, pulled the sticky back off and laid it on my cardstock. I then lightly sanded it. The metallic film has a star design on it already and embossing it with the star folder made it more " starry."
