Christmas Cards All Year Around - July Challenge

With the weather being decidedly wintry (again) I decided to have a bash at the Christmas Cards All Year Around Challenge. This month it is a colour challenge:

Red, White and Blue only

I found some blue card blanks which I cut down to be squares. The red slightly embossed and mottled card is from my stash and I've used a Martha Stewart punch on the bottom. I've doodled around the edges of the card with a fine black pen. The blue grosgrain ribbon has been threaded through the top of the red card by holes that I made with a ribbon punch. The actually slots were not quite wide enough so I double punched the holes and the ribbon fitted perfectly! I then threaded some white thin ribbon through, on which the snowflake hangs.

The snowflake is a Sizzix die and I've used white funky foam. The brads are from the Dovecraft Ho Ho Ho collection and I've been wanting to use them since I bought them (2 years ago!)

The sentiment has been stamped in black ink and is a Studio G acrylic bargain stamp. 5 really easy and simple cards to make, once I'd decided what I was doing!
