Sparkling gold Christmas card

I think my fav papers this Christmas is

Craft Consortium's "Tis The Season" papers.

Just love the shine and strong colors on these.

I made a card set using these and then I had a

"left over" strips I did not want to waste,

so I used the to make these striped backgrounds.

Snowflakes are made using Sizzix dies and the ribbon is from

my new jumper, LOL.
