Funky Christmas...

Two cards for the challenge at http://pennybfriendssaturdaychallenge.blogspot.com/ where the theme is 'funky Christmas' and there has to be at least one Penny Black stamp in the project. I was intending to do a folded funky card with trees on, but as I searched for the paper these two papers, that were freebies in a recent 'Craft Beautiful' magazine, jumped out at me. This led to a change of plan.

I used the 'T for transparent' set of stamps and in the card above (which is my favourite of the two) I just used the sentiment and the hanging stars.

In the card below I used the different sizes of snowflake stamps on coloured paper and added them to the design. I added gems from Making Memories to both cards. I love these gems as they actually peel of the backing with the glue still intact, which not all gems do.
