Not one, but two cards for this Waltzingmouse waltz.
The first one, I had this great idea to make light bulbs with the small teardrop from Teeny Trees.
I stamped the bulbs then used a piece of foam and rubber to make the base
then gold embossed them. I think they came out better than expected but
my string of lights were harder than I imagined.
Tell me what you think!
The stars on the tree are gold embossed and look bright, oh so bright IRL.
Card number two...is as clean and simple as I could possibly get.
Again, the tree decorations are gold embossed.
Thanks for coming by!
I can't wait to see what every one else created.
FYI...here's a pic of the tiny square of foam and rubber that I cut out to make the light bulb bases.

Love your idea with the string of Christmas lights! Great cards!
Joanne, these cards are festive FUN! I love how you made the border with the lights!! So perfect with that little shimmery tree, and the second card just has the sweetest homespun design...my fave design of all, of course :) Awesome waltz cards!!!
The light bulb idea is so clever. Great cards!
Lovely cards Joanne. I love the layout and colors of both. :c) Such a clever work of art on your bulb stamp! Thanks for sharing, Robyn
EGADS! Woman...that is a brilliant idea. Why didn't I see that in those stamps. Wonderful cards and I can tell you right now that I'll be casing that Christmas light idea. TFS

Two gorgeous cards, and the lightbulbs WORK!
Love Teeny Trees. Both cards are lovely. What a great idea for the lightbulbs. TFS.
Clever using "Tidings" as the stem on your tree :) and creating the base for your holiday lights. Watch out WMS.. Joan could be your next competitor. (*wink*)
Thanks for sharing
I think both of your cards came out wonderful. You always have such good ideas.
What great cards! I love the lights on the first one - and the use of text for the tree stem is *so* creative! The second is beautifully elegant - the embossing is a fabulous touch!
Great cards Joanne....love them all!
How clever with the lights! Love your cards!
You are so clever! Love your lights. And the second card is oh so elegant.

Two cute tree cards - your string of lights is so cute - what a lot of fussy cutting you did for them!
