Happy World Card Making Day

Today is World Card Making Day.  So I thought I would share one of my Christmas card for this year.  This is a very simple one that I just loved from the Autumn/Winter 2011 CMTH Idea book.  It is on page 120 if you would like to see the original.  I did not have some of the things they used to I changed it up a bit.  Be sure to check out Jeanette Lynton's blog for some great ideas too.
All products used are CMTH
I used all the same colors:  Barn Red, Cranberry, Bamboo, Cocoa, Kraft.
Inks were Cranberry and Cocoa
I did not have the cranberry ribbon so I used paper and folded it into pleats.
The white ribbon was from my stash
The pin clips Z1612 are new and I just love them.  I just tucked it behind one of the pleats so the pin part was not exposed.
The dove was cut on my Cricut using Tie the Knot page 35 shift> dove2s> @ 3/4"
Stamp Sets used were:
Remarkable Wreath C1473  **This is a must have I have lots of ideas for this one all year long.
Fill in the Blank D1493  **it has the dove it you don't have a Cricut, and the sentiment
I sponged around everything with Cranberry ink.
After taking the picture I thought I should have used some Bitty Sparkles  Z1263 for the bling!  Next one.

Have fun creating one of your own. 

If you want me to show you how to do the pleats just let me know.
