Since today is card Wednesday, we've all created some fun cards to help make the celebration complete.  Here are my offerings.

Lily Bee Supplies Used (Victoria Park: 6x6 Paper Pad, Persnickety: 6x6 Paper Pad, ABC Cardstock Stickers, Christmas Cheer: 6x6 Paper Pad, Buttercup: 6x6 Paper Pad, Double Dutch: 6x6 Paper Pad)

I got happy with confetti for this first one.  In order to create a cellophane bag, I simply used packaging from some scrap item or another and sewed it inside the pocket in the size I needed.  Super easy to do.

I die cut the card on my Silhouette SD to get the balloon shape and Celebrate word and then added patterned paper behind them.

This one is an invitation.  Die cut a question mark that has options for two patterned papers.  Glue them together, add gold leafing pen around the edges and around the edges of the card.  Add gold mist droplets and sequins and Voila!

Lily Bee Supplies used: Persnickety (Patterned paper, ABC Cardstock Stickers, ABC Mixed Cardstock Stickers) Christmas Cheer: (Patterned Paper, Acrylic Stamps)

Thanks so much for celebrating with us today.  Make sure and complete the hop and leave lots of comments for your chance to win!  And don't forget to check at Lily Bee Design tomorrow for the final round!
