Julie's Creative Stamping: Sweetest Time by Stampin Up® "All is Bright" Christmas Card

Glad you stopped by today! This is another card I did for my Christmas Card Class this year. The ladies loved it! The hardest thing on this card is removing the green foil die cut from the adhesive backing. It get a little confusing as you keep thinking some of the parts that are pulling off are needed but they are not! Another thought on this card is to put the ribbon behind the green foil leaves but I liked it best this way! The nice thing about making cards is putting your own stamp on them. So take a chance and make a few changes and see how it comes out!
