A big congrats to Brenda, the newest Featured Stamper (FS864)! She has a sweet gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & Christmas theme, put I used different dies, paper strip instead of ribbon & pierced bg instead of embossed.
My card was entirely die cut. The bells were cut out of 3 shades of brushed metallic gold & the clappers are brushed metallic bronze. I used a resized slimline die to cut the strip of designer paper, added narrow gold strips down the side, then die cut the green scallop edges w/ a mini slimline die & used just the 2 long edges.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ more pics & products: The Write Stuff

Well, you certainly picked the right sentiment die for this beauty -- what a joyful card. Those golden bells are stunning with those varied shades of gold and bronze and that big red bow is perfection. Your framing and backing are superb. I love the beauty of the poinsettia dp along with the fun infused by the green scallops. Fabulous card.
Julie, This is such a gorgeous case of Brenda's inspiration card. The designer paper strip looks so pretty against the white background and it really sets off the bells and sentiment. I love your use of multi colored paper to show the dimension of color on the images.
