My daughter knows just how much I love Christmas and made me this beautiful felt Christmas decoration…

She is so clever – I love it!  And it’s taken pride of place on my Christmas tree this year. 

I just loved the colours she’d used and thought they looked very similar to Stampin’ Up’s real red and lucky limeade.

So I decided to use this colour combo to make some Christmas cards.  

I used the Big Shot and the scallop circle die from Stampin’ Up! for these bauble cards…

I used border punches and a variety of circles punches to make the embellishments, and added a small length of gold elastic thread from Stampin’ Up! (sadly retired), to be the “hanger” of the bauble. 

It could be used either as a large gift tag, or a single card …

The Holly Berry Bouquet designer series paper from Stampin’ Up! is lush and the glittered stripes pattern is so Christmassy!  Love it!  The card would look equally good with any of the floral patterns from the same set. 

A quick and easy card to make, but so effective and easy to reproduce.
