Hello there! Are you reading this or are you completely shocked at the amount of patterned paper you see? LOL I hope you finished all your holiday preparations this past weekend so you can relax over the next few days! Today I'm showing you two completely different cards with the same colour theme. 
My first card uses the December Store Kit - Sexy, Silly & Sassy paired with beautiful papers from Echo Park's Wintertime Collection. When I saw the journaling card, I knew I wanted to use it with this lingerie set! I stitched the striped paper on to the card base. Then I paper pieced the bra and boy briefs, my favourite kind of comfy yet cute underwear! ;Þ
My second card is clean and simple using colours drawn from the first card. I stamped the butterflies from Happy Everything in three different colours and cut out one of each butterfly. I picked a sentiment from the December Kit - Just Be You, lined everything up and stitched the butterflies in place. The stitching wasn't necessary but I love the effect it has on the card. I have quite a few friends I wasn't able to spend a lot of time with in 2010 and they'll be getting one of these in the New Year!
May you all have an absolutely wonderful week!

Your first card is just too much fun! And the paper-piecing on the lingerie is amazing. The second card appeals to my CAS-loving soul, of course. ;) I'm in awe that no butterfly antennae were harmed in the making of this card. LOL
Beautiful fresh and clean looking cards Emily!
I think thankfully I have about done with the shopping but you can always guarantee you have forgotten something at the last minute! lol

That first card is too cute, Em! I love the DP. It is sitting on my shelf quite unloved, but now that Christmas is upon us, I should pull it out! The butterflies are GORGEOUS! You rock, chicka!
Oh my, look at you rocking the dp!! Love the piecing of that adorable lingerie :)
The second is classic Em -- and just amazing, to boot!

Oh shut up! I will so be borrowing this idea Emily...I *heart* the sentiment with the undies and just the right amount of patterns on this card :) I adore the white space on the second card...You pull this off so well.

Wow! these cards are just fabulous!!! you have some gorgeous creations on your blog ... awesome! Thanks ever so much for leaving me a comment too ... gave me a chance to see your amazing talent .... Have a wonderful Christmas
I was just saying how classy your cards are as I logged in to show my daughter your site and up came the underwear card! My daughter absolutely adored it while I have fallen in love with the butterflies - it's the stitching that gets me! Oh - and the colours.
These are both adorable Emily! Love the two totally different cards in the same color palette! I love the note paper on the first card - it coordinates perfectly with the color scheme. Those butterflies on the second card are adorable - love the unnecessary stitching. I think it adds a perfect touch :)

They are both so sweet, I love them both, love the CAS look on that butterfly card, what a brilliant creation!
