I love the clean looks of black and white cards. So chic.
The cards I have made over the last few days were for a commision - my son's fiancee - so some are traditional, others a slight twist on the traditional theme.
Kim....I hope you don't mind that I used your cards for inspiration!!! I have a CraftRobo and I used Photoshop to draw a couple of Starbursts so that I could make a file for cutting these. Here are a couple I made...the 2nd one is a scan because I just could not get a decent photo of it...so the color is all off!
My DH liked the 8 point starburst card (#2) best, but I liked the 11 point starburst card (#1) best. All of the white embossed (wet) snowflakes were designed by Silene in the CraftRobo Template section. I designed and cut the "MerryChristmas" with my CR and then embossed it with Brilliance "Pearlescent Sky Blue" pigment ink and then clear embossing powder. On card#1, I also used some Star Dust Transparent embossing powder.
By the way Kim, I like your cards much better than mine!
TFL, Pam

Pam you are too hard on yourself, these are stunning and clever you for doing them with your robo!!! I LOVE the 11 point starburst, beautiful, well they are both beautiful but my fave is #1 and of course I don't mind. Nothing is truly original we all use ideas and interpret them differently and I am flattered you liked it enough to try it yourself
I saw this design on the Split Coast Stampers website and thought that it would be possible to do on the CRaft Robo and so have just been to Hobbycraft to buy some supplies to make them tonight. They are so lovely that I am only going to do them for my "special people" christmas cards
You are all worrying me as I have't come up with one for this year yet!
I did have a great christmas card in mind, but I then found out the word/phrase stamp I wanted to use was too big for the A6 card that I need to make them up with. So - I am back to the drawing board and looking at all of your lovely cards for inspiration as I need something quick but elegant if I am going to make 100 or so!
However, I did make one up yetserday for our youth group - when I get permission, I will post it - it's on the gallery!
Thanks everyone for your kind comments about my starbursts....for those of you with CR's, I will be uploading the files in the CraftRobo Templates section sometime today.
Pam fantastic as ever!! I too love no 1. best but they are both special
