I love looking through my left over scraps of paper when thinking of ideas which is how I ended up with this card. I decorated it with ribbon, a dimensional sticker, stick-on gems and used a scallop and snowflake punch.

What's great about this style of card is that you can use up small embellishments that have been sitting in your supplies box.

CARD MAKING SUPPLIES:

  • (4) Styles or colors of scrapbook pattern paper 2" w x 2" h
  • Dimensional sticker
  • Printed message from scallop punch
  • Ribbon
  • Snowflake or other embellishment
  • Stick-on gems
  • Blank white card 5" x 5" (or you can cut a 6 1/2" w x 5" h down to size)

CARD MAKING TOOLS:

  • Foam tape
  • Double sided tape
  • Scallop punch
  • Snowflake punch
  • Adhesive dots or glue gun

  • Other embellishments you can substitute for the ribbon or snowflake can be a button, preferably a green, white or red colored button to help coordinate with the holiday colors.  If you use other holiday colors like blue or sometimes, purple can be a holiday color, then pick appropriate button colors.

    I used a scallop punch to punch out my sentiment but you can also stamp a little message or use a sticker that says Merry Christmas.
