Happy Holidays Card

Wow! I can't believe it's the last hour in the month of November. The month really did seem to fly by. I wanted to share a quick and easy Holiday card I put together. There is nothing fancy about this design, but it works. All you need is a nice patterned paper, image stamp, and sentiment stamp and you'll have the ingredients to make a handmade Holiday/Christmas card. The ornament on this Happy Holidays Card was heat embossed using a red glitter embossing powder and accented with rhinestones for sparkle. The supplies for the card were purchased last year at Hobby Lobby. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
