Today's card offers proof that you don't need tons of products to create a simple and polished holiday card. I streamlined even further by starting the project with a classic holiday card color combination offered by this week's Pals Paper Arts Challenge (PPA122): Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke and Very Vanilla. We would love to have you play this week's PPA Challenge.

STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
- Stampin' Dimensionals . . . how do I love thee? I use my Stampin' Dimensionals on almost every card. On a simple card like this one, they give the perfect 3-D boost to the ornaments.
- The Stampin' Up! Tree Trimmings stamp set is one of my holiday favorites. The set offers a clean design and the ornaments are easy to crop with my Paper Snips. This set is only available in wood-mount. However, watch my Stampin' Pretty Video Tutorial to learn how to convert them to storage saving clear-mount with Stampin' Up! Clear- Mount Cling Mount Foam (124236) and a hot knife. Slick!
- 3/8" Denim Jean Ribbon in Always Artichoke (also available in Blue) looks divine and is very "cooperative" when tying a bow.
- The Very Vanilla Medium Envelope gets a coordinating touch.

Eye Catching! Simple, but very elegant. I always look at my Christmas cards to see if it would ‘stand out’ in someone’s display. This definitely would :o) TFS!
