I cut a bunch of ornaments and bows (with my new dies from Clearly Besotted) out of sparkly paper and made this easy card with some of them. I usually stick to traditional Christmas colors, but decided to use some sparkly purple paper and am loving these bright ornaments. I started with a white top folding card base that I embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I "hung" the ornaments with thin gold washi tape. The gold bows were attached and then the ornaments were popped up with pop dots.
I am entering this card in the Happy Holidays challenge at Jo's Scrap Shack and the Last Minute Christmas at Crafty Catz.
