"I thought it would be fun to do a monochromatic take on a holiday card. The ribbon lent itself perfectly to an ombre effect for the background and the rest came together rather effortlessly."

Supplies: 6x6 Paper Pad (366119) - Peppermint Express, White (71259) - Cardstock, Figgymint Die Cut Shapes (366108) - Bits, Solid Ribbon (366117) - Premium Ribbon, Hollymint Wood Clothespin (366115) - Whittles

"Just because it's a card doesn't mean it has to fit in an envelope. This kind of card would serve perfectly on top of a gift in place of a bow or placed under the tree in the pile of presents with a lovely gift card inside. Sometimes the card is the wrapping!"
