I came up with this quick and easy design to use up some gold mirror doilies I've had in my stash for a while. I borrowed the Holly Jolly stamp from a friend, and embossed it with gold on red cardstock; using a matching punch to cut the image. I added a white banner that was embossed with a Snow Globe ef from Sizzix, and added a sparkly piece of gold sticky ribbon that was cut into a banner and placed beneath the sentiment. The card base was embossed with a Cuttlebug Holly Branch ef.
I'm sharing this with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge which is "Make it Sparkle."
Here are a couple more cards I made with this design...
Green...
and Vanilla.
Thanks for stopping by and make it a great Thursday!

Very nice cards. I love them all but the vanilla seems to show the background embossing the best. Hope you have a nice day today.
