After I completed the 20 cards that Tricia gave us Assembly Line Card instructions for, I had cardstock and paper left over because I make 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card fronts and attach them to white folded cardstock. I was able to make these three cards and a tag and I have enough left over for at least six more cards.

There's gold paper and gold DP cardstock in the Stamp collection. I took advantage of that and used Super Fine Detail Gold embossing poweder to glam up the sentiments. I used a gold paint calligraphy pen to edge some of the cards. This collection will really help you get ready for Christmas!
TIP: Here's a great way to stretch your paper even more when making cards fronts. This is the back of the ornament card where I cut out the pieces needed for the front. Once it is mounted on a blank card no one will know!

Happy Crafting!

They all turned out looking really festive and elegant, Donna. I had an extra look at the card with the knitted panel and hollies, it's so beautifully designed. And I love all the colors.
