Nothing better to get into the holiday spirit than to make cards with beautiful designs! I loved making this one...I used mylar under the tree to make it extra sparkly! I used the Tree Ornament from Tattered Stitches which was perfect for this card... Here is the link to the site for anyone interested....

This is stunning Kim, it's gorgeous. Love Chris

Thanks for your kind words...

Was this a design that was specially made for the card? Did you stitch the quilted look too, or is that a printed card? Looks great. I've tried embroidery with greeting cards before, and did not have very appealing results. The mylar is a great touch!!

Thanks...I stitched the quilting lines and decorative border and lettering...they were not a part of the original design.

I'm only able to see the thumbnail of this card but it is so pretty. I have never tried a Mylar anything. I have some discarded Mylar balloons I was going to experiment with but I don't think it would work like the pretty iridescent sheets.

Thanks, Patti....photos are an ongoing problem, as you well know... you should try your mylar balloons as they would give a good but different effect....

Love it. Using the Mylar under the tree design really makes is sparkle

Yes, you should be able to see it tomorrow...I can't see it here either...but that's okay, tomorrow is another day!

That is a beautiful card. Have wanted to try doing some but haven't tried. Everyone is going to want to frame theirs!

Thank you Tonya...they are really fun to make.

Oh my! What a fabulous card! Using that mylar was a fantastic technique as it really did increase the sparkle. I can't quilt figure out what you used for the frame. Beads? I'm sure whoever receives a card from you will treasure it and put it on display for others to enjoy as well.

Thank you Penny.... The frame is a motif stitch from my software...but you could use a decorative stitch from your embroidery/sewing machine too!
