Every element used on this card (except the sentiment panel) was found in my box of random snippets. The embossed background was made some time ago with a Cuttlebug ef. The strip of woodgrain dsp along with the strips of green and red card stock were cut into banners with a hexagon punch, and the 3 golden stars (done with a SU! retired mini punch) were also hiding in that over-stuffed box. The sentiment is from Contempo Christmas by SU! (2010) and was heat-embossed with white on a red panel, then die cut with a MFT fishtail flag banner. I snipped one end off because it just looked better that way :)
I'm entering this into the following challenges:
Shopping our Stash #410 - make a card with the holiday you celebrate
Retro Rubber Challenge #125 - Use red, white, and green on your card
Thanks for stopping by and make it a great Tuesday!

I'm falling behind with commenting but I did go back and enjoyed the cards you made when I wasn't around and they are cute. The turkey's feathers look like felt and he is so cool. Love this birthday card and all those cute gift bags for Thanksgiving. This Christmas card is really pretty and I love, love, love that sentiment. What a wonderful use of all the snippets.
Love the way you did the banners and embossing on this beauty! Plus used up so many snippets too!! Fantastic card Carol.
