More Christmas

Anyway, I bought some more metal edged tags a while back and really wanted to use one with a felt Thicker (American Crafts), so this is what I came up with. The large circle was cut out of the patterned paper using the Coluzzle. The striped pattern paper is adhered to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals.
Doesn't that ribbon tying make you think of a present! Speaking of presents, I'll have to do a bit of holiday shopping on my trip.
While I'm on my trip, I'll also keep my eyes peeled for some cool papercrafting ideas, too. Kind of along the lines of, "How and where can I find inspiration?" A bit of "homework" for me. I'll take lots of pictures to show ya'll. :)
While I'm gone, I'll try to update a bit, but I can't guarantee anything. I return to Utah on Monday, so I'll see you guys for sure Tuesday morning!

What a fantastic and festive Christmas card. Love it!
By the way, I just want to tell you that I love the way you photograph your creations. Your blog is so clean and wonderful to view. Your efforts are very much appreciated.
Have a terrific weekend!
Oh... I'm so adoring the Christmas cards... Keep em coming! Your blog is #1 on my list for card making inspiration. I'm always impressed by what you post.
To answer your earlier question: Supplies I always use for cardmaking are: Glitter - It used to be dazzling diamonds, but now is more fine with a clear glitter gel pen by Gelly Roll. I really like using my Fiskars fabric scallop scissors for cards, as well as my punches. I over used my scalloped circle punch for a while, now I've moved on to my oval punch some. For scrapbooking I'm really just into paper right now. I adore adding a touch of stripes, polka dots and/or swirled paper. Oh yes, and my clear letter stamps. Love those.
Nothing too exciting from me huh.
Wow your card is beautiful. U R so talented...your work & videos are amazing. I really appreciate all you do. I can’t wait to try the origami box. Thanks for sharing your creativity!!
WOW!!! Your cards are beautiful & the videos are so awesome!! Thanks for sharing your talent! Have a fun trip.
What a bright, fun, and cheery card. The colors & the festive ribbon make me want to start wrapping gifts and decorating for the holidays! Thanks for another great idea.
Have a safe trip. I love your blog!!!!
