I wanted to share these cards today, just in time for Christmas...
I saw similar cards on Pinterest and used them as my inspiration.....
The background has been blended with distress inks.
The Mistletoe, the hearts, the bows and cute pegs have all been stamped.
I finished off with splattering with white acrylic paint, glossy accents
on the hearts and white novo drops.
Wherever you are this Christmas and whoever you are with
I wish you Peace, Happiness and Health x
Thank you so much for your generous and very kind comments in 2017.

These are darling! Merry Christmas!
A beautiful CAS design, I love those hanging mistletoe hearts. Merry Christmas, wishing you a happy and healthy new year xx
This is SO fun! What a great idea, and an awesome card! Your execution is terrific.
Love your Nuvo drops, I see you've mastered them without a pointy top -- me? not so much...
Absolutely beautiful Mac, I love the design and colours.
Have a joyful Christmas and a Happy New year, Kate x
Your cards are perfect, Mac. Merry Christmas, my friend.
Merry Christmas, Mac! I love the card you posted - such a beautiful soft blue background and a wonderful string of hearts and mistletoe.
And thank you for all the kind comments you've left on my blog - it is so encouraging to have comments.
Best wishes for 2018!
These are so sweet, Mac! I love the little hearts and the tiny pegs! Merry Christmas to you and thanks for sharing this with us at CAS Mix Up!
How completely different these cards are from your usual style M. I love the simplicity here with the snowflakes and nuvo drops. How awesome those red hearts are that just showcase this card beautifully.
I wish you a Guid New Year and will have a wee glass of homemade Irish Cream (has Whisky in so it is Scottish) with you at 10.00am New Years Day being midnight in Bonny Scotland.
Looking forward to seeing where your creative juices go in 2018. Hugs.
Very modern, unique & beautiful! Hope you had a lovely day, Mac!
What ;ovelycards Mac - I thought the pegs were real!! No, I have not had a tipple :-)
May your year in 2018 bring you much joy and crafty time
Blessings

Sweet cards Mac. Love the splattered background. The red just pops and makes this such a happy set of cards. Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! xx
Absolutely Beautiful, I LOVE the colours and the idea of the peg line, how fabulous to do the envelope too and I love the background.
Thank you for your support this year, it has been much appreciated :)
I hope your Christmas was good and the coming year will be a Happy, Healthy, loving and a successful year for you.

I wish you all the best, Mac. Let the New Year 2018 bring you happiness, health, love and money. And by the way, I wish that next year I could admire your works much more often :-) Thank you so much for so many such amazing inspirations, Mac.

Just adorable, and I love your snow splatters. (I'd have had snow blobs!) makes the red hearts of the mistletoe show up splendidly and 3 cheers for Pinterest (and Youtube too!) I download a bunch of cards from Pinterest, then forget where I put them or that I have them stored in files. Glad if you got a good tip with using the sprays, micas or dylusions as a means to make the brusho-s bloom. It's really fun to watch. You can spray the plain w/color paper, then sprinkle, or wet it and sprinkle. It works either way, and you never get the same look twice! TFS & hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
These cards are sooo soft and pretty, Mac! And I noticed that they were a little bit different from your cards I'd seen this year. I love this simple and pretty style too. Your ink-distressed light blue background is so smooth and beautiful. I love the subtle/fine white acrylic paint splatters too! Thank you so much for your kind and warm comments on my cards this year. Wishing you a happy, healthy and crafty 2018! :-) Hideko x
Absolutely adorable design and love the addition of the envelope. Best of the New Year.

Gorgeous, Mac ... crisp, fresh, contemporary ... the pop of red in the hearts is delicious with the hanging mistletoe and that wonderful background! Hugs, Anita :)
I just love your take! What a sweet design. Love the "berries" too! Wishing you every blessing in 2018. Hugs, Autumn
How sweet and pretty Mac and I adore the line which extends beyond the topper with the three hearts and mistletoe hanging with the sweet little pegs, and what fabulous blended backgrounds with the acrylic splattered snow. The motif on the envelope is a lovely touch too. I hope you had a really good Christmas and I am so looking forward to seeing your beautiful creations throughout the coming year. x
Unique and very very sweet Mac! LOVE them! Sorry I haven't been around in a while . . . mum keeps me very busy! I hope to do better in 2018! All good intentions anyway! I hope you had a good Christmas and that 2018 will be a happy and - above all - healthy one! Love & Hugs. Hazel xx
