You should be coming to my blog from Martine Smith's Blog. After visiting me, head on over to Alissa Wells' Blog. For a list of the Alumni Blogs, see the end of the post.
I created a Christmas card using the Festive Holly Paper Collection. This is one of the new 2017 Christmas collections that was released in the summer. It is BEAUTIFUL. I love the traditional colors and the stunning images of birds and snowy days! 
The card is 5" x 7" and has a pocket on the front to hold two tags. You could also put gift cards or a photo into the pocket and use the matching tags for gift tags. 

That lacy circle die that you see is called Eyelet Circle and Basics Small. I just got my hands on it! So pretty!
The tags are ATC sized tags from Graphic 45. I covered both sides of the tags with paper and then tied some stitched burlap ribbon to the top of each tag.  

To decorate the edge of the pocket, I used one of the dies from Border Essentials. The one I used sort of looks like a wrought iron fence.
I cut some of the stunning paper to decorate the inside of the card as well. I really wish I had purchased TWO pads of this paper! I love it so much that I know I am going to blow through it FAST! I already have next month's project started using this same paper! {wink} 
Thanks for hopping by! Hop on over to  Alissa Wells' Blog next. DON'T FORGET...POST A COMMENT FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN A $25 GIFT CARD TO HEARTFELT CREATIONS!
