I kept this one very simple and vintage like. Take a look:
Started with a Soft Suede card base, and then a layer of kraft cs that I ran through my Cuttlebug with an embossing folder by Quickutz. To make the words pop a little more, I sponged them with some Soft Suede ink. Then I stamped a small Santa from Paper Inspirations onto white cardstock with Soft Suede ink and layered with cs and gold glitter paper. I finished with a gold glitter snowflake (Provocraft die) and some cream colored seam binding ribbon. I also added a couple gold jingle bells and red/cream twine to the bow, and a little star tag (PTI's Tiny Tags die). Another card that would be easy to mass produce, but not very mailable with the bells on it.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and thanks so much for stopping by! :0)
