Christmas is on its way!

These are the pics of my first Christmas cards for this year.
They are the cards I taught at my class in Crafty Bride 
in Kilkenny today. Hope you like them!
This card is made using a vintage santa background, crafts too 'Ivy-Corner' die-cut and the topper is from Joanna Sheens Victorian Christmas CD. The spellbinders die-cut backing the topper is the stately cirlces and plain circles, both from the grand nestabilities range.
This card is made using a lovely image of a family at the crib outside Church. The nesties are again from the spellbinders grand nestabilities range and are the grand decorative labels 1.
This card is made using an image from the new Hobby House 'Mo Manning' die-cut toppers. The left-hand ribbon border is made using the Martha Stewart Ribbon Border Punch and is layered onto another piece of backing card punched on both sides again with a Martha Stewart border punch. The die-cut used to back the topper is from the spellbinders 'resplendent rectangles'.
