Holiday Lights

I made a very CAS card with PTI's Holiday Lights stamp set and their Wonderful Words Holiday dies.  Wow, do these stamps make it so easy to make a very cute card in just a matter of minutes, and they are very flat and easy to mail. 
 I guess my cards have been a little more "busy" lately, since my daughter told me this card was too "plain".  She was probably comparing it to the birthday card I made her that had so much on it that it wouldn't fit into an envelope.  I guess I will have to remember to always pile up her cards with lots of "stuff" because apparently that is how she judges her cards, the more embellishments the better as far as she is concerned.

Your daughter is a hoot! I love that she is obviously a "more is more" kinda gal.. Bless. Wonderful use of the lights with the die cut words. I agree it does make things a bit quicker for sure. Especially when we are a bit time poor as can be the case at this time of year. Loving the diamonte on the star light and the scored border. Bright & cheerful indeed!


Hugs.

What a great idea to combine the two sets. This is so perfect, and is so 'my' kind of card! I like how you have highlighted the sentiment with score lines, and how you have mixed up the types of bulbs.

Cathy this is a great card--love it. I need to break open this set. Not plain at all. ;)

Wow Cathy! I really really like this one. The little sparkle on the star is perfect! Love how clean it looks and how the red and blue just pop off the page. You are going to convert me to PTI! I don't think my wallet can handle it right now~! Talking about your daughter made me laugh - mine is the same way!

HaHAHA! You're daughter is so funny! This card is perfect and she knows it :D Just the perfect amount of bling (plus saves on the postage right?)

Love it! Not to simple for me, your daughter is funny . Its just not what she is accustomed to getting from you.
I do like the die cut words on it though. Your right its easy to mail.

I love what you did with Holiday Lights. I knew I should have ordered that set. It works great with the holiday words too. I'm very curious where you got the Christmas sentiment from. I'm looking for words that will fit with the holiday diecuts, since I didn't order the stamp set. Great CAS card, and it is not too plain, it is just right!
