More Simple Christmas

I know how pressed everyone is for time, especially during the Holiday season. I am all about the quick and easy Christmas card (although for some reason I don't always practice what a preach when it comes to my own personal cards, lol!). I wanted to show you how you can create a fabulous card with just some paper and ribbon. You can actually use designer paper and ribbon as the focal point of your card. Yes, I said that. It doesn't always have to be about the stamps. I just got this paper and ribbon yesterday from Limelight and I can't stop looking at it. It really is stunning, IRL! The paper is by TaDa, and it is called Twinkly Tidings-Razzle Dazzle. It is double sided and I used both sides here on this card. I was a bit hesitant on ordering this ribbon, but knew that it was by May Arts so I couldn't go wrong. Not to mention that I have yet to find a ribbon I didn't like or couldn't use in some way. I had no idea just how perfectly this matched this paper. I used the Bazzil Bling Diamond cs for my base and added a little sentiment embossed with copper embossing powder and called it done.
Hugs,
