I enjoyed looking through Cindy's gallery! I wasn't familiar with her work, but she has some wonderful layouts! I chose her Cardinal gift card and used a snowflake in place of the bird. The DP is Christmas Cocoa, which is a retired SU collection and I paired it with kraft and white. The snowflake was made with Spellbinders Create a Flake One dies, it's popped up with foam tape, the edges are sponged with white and I added a Swarovski crystal to the center. The sentiment was inked with versamark and early espresso and then embossed with clear ep. Here's the link to Cindy's pretty card. Cardinal Gift Card Holder by cjoy at Splitcoaststampers

Sue, your card is so warm and gorgeous. What a beautiful card for the holidays. I love the paper ( I have a tiny bit left), colors, die cut snowflakes and perfect sentiment. TFS
