Congrats to Kristen, a/k/a Eberlinek, for being selected Featured Stamper this week. I've been a fan of Kristen's gallery, but haven't visited in quite awhile. What a lot of beauties I missed.
I also made a Christmas card, but changed the dp, colors, image and added a sparkly bow rather than corner punch. I omitted the brads and the ribbon loop.
Since I'm trying to make a majority of my holiday cards easier and less expensive to mail, I did not add bling - I know, Brat, the Bling Anonymous group is finally helping!! I normally would have used tiny red gems on the tree; but, instead, used red sparkly stickles. Aren't I doing well with this?
I paper pierced the main image panel and used dazzling diamonds on around the image and sentiment mats.
Thanks so much for taking the time to look and another CONGRATS to Kristen and her most beautiful gallery.
PT: None - Yikes!

Pam, no bling needed. This is really an outstanding Christmas card. Love your sweet bow and the awesome image and paper. But, no punches????!!!!! I'm stunned! LOL You're really staying true to your word to make your cards more simple and I'm loving them. Although, you know I love the others, too.

So good to see that you are still finding time to do some creating and posting. Hope that means life is on an even keel for you. Keep going girl. Keep making those Christmas cards.

This is fabulous, Pamzi, as I slink in to leave a comment after forgetting one, yes just one "pnz" in my keywords and being found out LOL! Looks like all the marbles came home and are in full operation.
Your card is gorgeous. I just ordered this set and can't wait to get it. Congrats on restraining yourself on the bling - I feel your pain as I know how hard it is to not use my Swiss Dots EF LOL! Great us of the DPs.
SO good to see you creating and able to comment a bit too (((hugszzzzz)

Oh Pamzi this is just darling. I really love the background paper you chose to work with as that was the perfect choice to highlight your images and layout. What a beauty!!!

I think you've succeeded in making a still-beautiful-but-less-expensive-to-mail Christmas card, Pamzi. It looks like something you'd buy in a boutique, if you ask me.
