I tackled another Christmas card today. I used an ornament from the SU Tree Trimmings Set and paired it with SU's Merry Moments dsp. I wanted to add some snowflakes or more bling, but I tried to keep it more simple than a lot of my cards. I thought the Holly Ribbons ef really dressed up the white card stock the ornament was hanging on, so nothing further needed.
.I stamped the ornament onto the white card stock panel, then embossed it with the holly ribbons ef. I then stamped the ornament again with versamark and embossed it with red embossing powder. I then added some dazzling diamonds to help it sparkle a bit. I attached a sparkly green brad and some red thread~thanks to djahner for the thread~. I then attached it onto the white card stock, after I embossed the white card stock with the ef, and popped it up on dimensionals.
.I embossed the greeting with red embossing powder, punched it with the SU word window punch and matted it on the SU modern label punch. Then popped it up on dimensionals.
.I have 3 layers of the card popped up on dimensionals and I added a red silk ribbon to the top.
Thanks so much for taking some time out of your day to visit and if you have a chance, let me know what you think!

What ~ no marbles today? What's up with that. See you havent changed your photo op stuff yet ....still using that bath mat I see. Maybe when your kitchen gets done. BTW, any closer today? Wow, sure sounds like a million dollar kitchen to me. I also see you must be rolling up your pants today the way you layed it on good with Nutmik's card! I told her not to pay any attention to anything you say because you're just a silly fruitcake.

BTW, did I forget to mention how much I love today's card? Boy, it's truly amazing what you can do when all the men in the house are gone. Hey, what's that they say ... when the boss is away the mice play? Memba that? and dont tell me you're not old enough because we all know differently. Very cool card today.

Ooh, Pam, I love gorgeous dp you have used and the wonderful Cuttlebug folder. Phooey, I don't have that one and have wanted it a long time. If only Hobby Lobby would get some new ones...ugh. The ornament is sooooooo beautiful and so is the ribbon. Another awesome Christmas card down...you are getting there. I love this one....as well as the rest.

I love that you kept this one simpler, Pam, because it really highlights that pretty ornament image. I don't have this set (yet) but just might have to order it anyway. Love it!
