I can't believe I spent time making a Christmas card when I haven't even begun making Fall and Halloween cards! Their all in my head ... just need time to put them into action! I found these self-adhesive bling stars at the Michael's $1 bin the other day, and knew they would be perfect for the top of the Christmas Tree in the Season of Joy stamp set (pg. 2-3 of the Holiday Mini). When I found Heather's card, I knew it would be a great excuse to start using my Wintergreen DP that's been calling my name for several weeks!
Things I changed from Heather's card: a) Heather's card appears to be square .... mine is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2, b) changed up some of the paper, c) used different ribbon, d) deleted the white tafetta ribbon ... tried to do it but couldn't get mine to look right!, e) used different ink colors ..... the more I look at it, the more different mine is! Oh well, mine is completely inspired by Heather's!

Just gorgeous! This is the same card I chose to CASE, but I don't have this stamp set so mine isn't Christmas-y. LOVE your version!

I just love this card, and this stamp set...it is on my list of must have's I think :)!
This is so pretty...and I love the papers you used!
Wow -- what a gorgeous card! I love all the dimension and the ribbons!
Beautiful card. I like your choice of DP behind the tree; it really sets the tree off. Same with the lighter color paper and darker ribbon. Although the card you CASEd is very nice, I prefer this one. Thanks for sharing.
Haha, I love reading people's comments, too funny! I can see why she prefers your card, it's wonderful! :)
This is a very pretty card. The bling is a nice little touch! I have to buy this set!
