This is one of my favorite Xmas stamps, and I just love the idea of purple and white for a Xmas card! These cards were also published in the September edition of the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine. The aim was to create two versions of the same card, I really like how they both turned out, although my fave would probably be the simple version… of course! (my apologies but the photos are quite dark)

Oh I just love these sweet embossed wreaths! Purple for Chrissy cards looks great too…a good alternative me thinks:-)
Gorgeous cards. I like the first one best.
Beautiful cards Therese! Purple is my favorite color. Love the pearls and bows too.
Wow, really elegant cards! Purple is a perfect non traditional color it is beautiful! The pearls are a lovely touch.
Beautiful Therese. Congrats on yet another publication – you’ll have a permanent job with them soon!! Love the HA wreath…it is on my wish list…one day *sigh*. Love both cards, but something about the first one speaks more to me. Beautiful bows also!
I loved these when I saw them in the mag, I have this stamp so I will definately be CASEing them!!! My favourite is the 1st one, it has a beautiful ‘Therese’ feel, CAS and oh so elegant!!! 🙂
Gorgeous! I really like them both and I am totally going to CASE the purple and white Christmas combo!
These are spectacular Therese. I like the second because I think the ribbon is gorgeous. Such a beautiful color and those pearls and ribbon do the trick.
You do use the most gorgeous colors Therese! *sigh*
These two cards look FAB but I do like the simpler one 🙂
I’m sooo going to but this stamp, I agree the CAS card is my fave too, love the pearls as well 🙂

OH MY, these are just gorgeous. LOVE the two effects, they are both amazing.
I love how they turned out! Like you, I like the simpler one better, but they are both amazing! Purple for Christmas? You are so cool to use purple! I always love your cards. 🙂
Both lovely cards Therese! That luxurious satin ribbon is a perfect match 😉
