This card was inspired by the Creative Crew September sketch challenge. This is actually the second card I made using the sketch because I had read the instructions too quickly and missed the part about doing a Holiday card! This one is my do-over. I used the Pines & Poinsettias set I received with my Christmas box to stamp the images on the tag and beneath the windowpane accent.
The tag was too long to fit on the card where I wanted it, so I shortened it by cutting the bottom off and adding a strip of patterned paper on which I had punched the corners with the Corner Rounder. At the top, I slid a punched Tab in the slit of the tag (I got this idea from the clever Carrie Gaskins) and added a matching button threaded with linen thread. I added a touch of sparkle with glimmer brads and a border cut out of red glimmer paper using the Tasteful Trims die.
TFL!

Stunning card. Love the colors, attention to detail, windowpane, tag, glitter paper, fancy brads, raised sentiment, big button, dsp, how you cut the tag to fit your card. All in all, a beautiful card.
Thanks for sharing a most wonderful re-do.
