A Festive Christmas {and a freebie!}

When I saw the sketch challenge over on the Pink Persimmon blog I just had to play along:

Christmas Card and Gift box set: Stamps: Pink Persimmion, Bingo Cards: Lindsay's stamp Stuff, Paper: American Crafts

I made this card and box set using the Cute as a Button set from Pink Persimmon (the sketch had a scallop border and the buttons were perfect for that!) I also used new Christmas paper from American Crafts, I like that the paper is sturdy enough to make a die cut box with and it has some glitter and varnish on it too, I’m sot sure if it shows in the photo or not but it is lovely. I also used some of my new Christmas bingo cards form my Christmas Potpourri set. I used my Cricut and SCAL software to cut the scalloped mat out of mirror gold paper I got at Wal-Mart, I also designed the box in SCAL and DS and you can download that template below. Here is a close up of the card:
