To kick things off, I wanted to share a simple (no stamps or ink) and "hip" card I made based on this bold polka dot wrapping paper. The inspiration is part of an exclusive weekly challenge among my demonstrator group and is one way we stay connected virtually, despite being from different parts of the U.S. Here's a helpful resource if you're passionate about Stampin' Up!, adore discounts and want to know more about joining the Stampin' Pretty Pals.
I punched twelve Whisper White Circles using my 1" Circle Punch and adhered them to a 4.25 x 5.5 card base (scored on top) of Real Red. Vavoom! Instant background glamour with texture. The bottom corners are cropped using a Corner Rounder Punch. TIP: I clipped the back (bottom) corners, too.
The "happy holidays" rub-on (Season of Cheer, 112843) is layered on Old Olive card stock and matted on Real Red. Three Real Red Brads dot the right corner. TIP: To create a simple balance to the brads, I used a Photo Corners Punch to spiff up the left corner with a red and white accent. Don't forget Stampin' Up!'s Rub-Ons Sale ends Nov. 30!
A strip of lovely Old Olive 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon wraps things up. I layered the sentiment panel on top of the ribbon with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Thank you for your creative side that you share with me!:)
Visually stunning card Mary! I think I’d like to run the white cardstock thru my cuttlebug first before punching out the holes. Thanks for the idea!
