It's also the first Friday of a new month, so I'm hostessing Viva la Verve as well. Since December is a super busy month, I did a special 6 x 6 One Sheet Wonder (OSW) layout with 4 sketches that will be our challenge for the whole month. I think these are perfect for making card sets for gift giving and also for knocking out holiday cards, so I hope you enjoy them. I've made three card sets already with the OSW template, so you'll be seeing some more inspiration with the sketches as the month progresses.
My cards use one double-sided 6 x 6 sheet of patterned paper, four circles, card fronts and card bases in crumb cake. I used the Holiday Greetings set for stamping on the circles, then embellished with some stars, snowflakes and rhinestones. I hand cut the banner ends on a few of the pieces as well. All in all a super quick card set, though!
Here's the link to the full printable PDF of the template.
This month's challenge is entitled O Christmas Tree:
Ribbons and sparkle and merry galore! Create a card inspired by the decorations of the season!

Beautiful cards. Love your color combo.
Thanks for the linkup to the PDF.
I love OSW's!! THANKS!! I have got to find a way to use my Verve stamps more this coming year. After Mom died I just haven't found my way back to the VLV challenges, and I miss them. They are going back on my to do list!! : )
okay, wow. Love your gorgeous card set and thank you for the 6x6 cutting guide...that's awesome.
Julee, I love your cards! You have such a wonderful style, and these are no exception! I love the idea of making four cards from one sheet. It ties them together without making them "matchy-matchy." Your sponging is always wonderful. It adds a "loved" feel to your cards that is wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing! :)
I love the neutral colors! It is so nice to see Christmas cards that can go either way, for a guy or girl! Great designs, and love the inked edges as well!
Hugs,
Sandy.

Beautiful cards! I love that dry embossing and those pretty metal snowflake embellishments!
Fun use of the challenge...great kraft cards.
These are beautiful. Very vintage looking.
What a great idea and how clever to manage to make four cards using just some card and one double sided 6 x 6 sheet of patterned paper. I love the colours which work so well together and pretty inking too. x
Lovely set, Julee! I really like the color combo and the vintage feel combined with a modern look. Great job.
