My card is made to honor Kathy aka CAKath as QFTD #37. There were plenty of beautiful cards to case in Kathy's wonderful gallery but and I settled on this gorgeous one. A Flutter of HOPE by CAKath at Splitcoaststampers
I kept the sketch, used a different opening, didn't add as many embellishments...only because I couldn't get mine to work. Kathy used some gorgeous butterflies. And, I used a different embossing folder to go with my Christmas theme.
I have a new Punch All Over the Page I wanted to use. Embossed my holly and added stickles to the holly berries and part of the bell.
Kathy, enjoy your reign as Queen!!

This is one "gorgeous" Christmas card. I have this folder -- now I'm anxious to get to my stampin' room and use it. You gave me a terrific layout! TFS!

Beautifully done with that embossing folder and the opening for your sentiment - very, very pretty - the white looks gorgeous against the cherry cobbler!
Your card is just Perfection with a capital P. The white with the red is just fabulous....and then your embossing folder with the cut out takes it all over the top!!

I have no idea what a punch all over the page is, but the punch you created on this embossed folder is gorgeous, Benzi. Your card is beautiful in red and white! Great work on this one, girl.

Another awesome Christmas card Da Benz. I LOVE the open window you created with the sentiment inside and I, too, have that ef and need to get it back out. It makes for such a lovely card. Your added bell and holly leaf are such a nice touch!! Way 2 go my Benzi Wenzi! TFS!

Benzi, hello! I saw those Punch All Over the Pages and had to resist, but I know it's not for long after seeing your beautiful CAS card. I like the one you picked from CAKath, too. I haven't seen Baubles and Bows ef before....me like!
