It's Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players! This week the talented Anne Marie has created a Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge for us. My selection was straight across the top of the grid: Christmas - Sparkle/Bling - Ribbon. As an added bonus, it is quick and easy! Enjoy!
The Stampin' Schach Design Tips: Easy Elegance
This finished card measures 4-1/4" wide x 5-1/2" long.
- Christmas! What better way to express the joy of the season than with the "Joy" sentiment from Joyous Celebrations! Inked in Cherry Cobbler, it was snipped out and popped up on Mini Glue Dots!
- Sparkle/Bling! The Holiday Frame Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is tailor- made for adding bling. Because I was wanting to add sparkle, I opted to add Basic Rhinestones instead of my beloved pearls.
- Ribbon! In order to showcase the gorgeous embossing rather than hide it under ribbon, Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding was wrapped around the corners of the card front. A Cherry Cobbler bow adds the perfect elegant touch! If you need a refresher on how I create my bows, please check out this post.
I LOVED creating this card. It was sooo easy...and quick. I hope you enjoyed it, too. Won't you let me know in today's comment? Your comments are important to me, and I do read each and every one. And of course, if you ever have a question about the cards that I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away. Until next time...

Such a pretty, elegant card, Ann! I love the bling, and as usual, the bow is perfect, full and rich!
Ann, love this "crisp and clean" but "classy" elegant card! That red ribbon and rhinestones really "set it off".

LOL I was like "man, how did she make that bow?!" and then I saw the link back to the video. I need to try that because my bows aren't gorgeous like yours! :)
Beautiful, elegant, and awesome card as always!
Beautiful Ann! The sweet rhinestone oval reminds me of grandma's jewellery & the "chocolate box" ribbon is fabulous! :)
Such a lovely card, Ann; puts one right in the Christmas card making mood! Love the colors, sparklin' diamonds and frosty effect. Hope you had a wonderful time in Hilton Head!! I am sure Brady enjoyed his Mom's good home cooked meals!
When I first saw your card, I thought "What, no pearls?", but the rhinestones rather than pearls really add the necessary bling for this fun contest.
I also love the ribbon wrapped around the edges...great idea when you don't want it to cover up your focal point! Beautiful card, Ann!
Beautiful, clean, crisp and definitely holiday-esque! Reminds me of snow, beautiful snow!
Gorgeous and elegant! Love this card and will have to order the items to create it! Just beautiful!
