I've gotten back from church and just couldn't wait to make a card for two challenges today. One is for Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge#26 and for the Featured Stamper on Splitcoaststampers, Lynette aka LynniePoo. What a wonderful gallery of cards to choose from to do a case.
Speedy Friends challenge is to use a punch or die cut. Yes, that is easy peasy and fun!!!
I love Christmas oranments and I have an ornament punch I'm enjoying using for this card. Each ornament was punched twice and put two together of the same for dimension. My ornament hangers are gold braid from Flower Soft..love it, and it is so easy to work with. The hard part of my card was adding those tiny, gold specks of braid left over from peeling off my ornament hangers from the package. They probably aren't really meant to used but I thought they made my ornaments much more elegant and decorative.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful die cut design with the Friends of Speedy the Cat in this week's challenge!
Glad you decided to try to use those gold braids; I think they add a lot of sparkle to your card! What a great CAS holiday creation -- looks like you could make a bunch relatively quickly.
This is soooo pretty! Love the embossing and your gorgeous punched out ornaments! The cherry cobbler is stunning with the white paper too!
I love these punched ornaments.. Your white with that red is so pretty.. I need some of that Cherry Cobbler..it is so rich. I also like the idea of just at bit of gold.. Great card..:)
