Holiday criss cross card...

For the ways to use it challenge. Make a card with pockets, out of pockets, etc. There is a really neat tutorial on how to make these criss cross cards on Splitcoast, so, I whipped one up and decided to use it for the challenge. The tutorial is very easy to follow and I just adore these cards. This is something I will be making again.

Stamps: baroque motifs, snowflake spot (sentiment), snow flurries. Ink: bravo burgundy, white. CS: true thyme, bravo burgundy, last years holiday designer paper. Access: true thyme stitched ribbon, tab punch, corner rounder, scissors, candy cane stickles.

Julia Stainton also has a really neat looking gift card holder card she made on her blog that I am hoping to try out later today. Thanks for stopping by!

PS I wanted to quickly add that the poinsetta on the belly band of this card was cut from last years designer patterned paper. I added the stickles in the center and then slightly curled the petals for a more realistic look.
