I love the finished card. So cheery! And that cute little pup makes it so fun. The pup and sentiment is from My Favorite Things Happy Pawlidays. I stamped and then colored the pup and the tree from the set with Spectrum Noir markers and then die cut with the matching dies. .The background frames are from MFT Blueprints 32. Each of the little light bulbs has a white gel pen mark and Spectrum Noir glitter pen. The wires are hand drawn. The pup's nose and star on the tree have dimensional magic on them and the pups Santa hat has diamond Stickles; so lots of shine and sparkle going on here. The background is difficult to see in the photo but I used a star stencil from Neat and Tangled to stencil a pattern. Love the finished card!

Donna, that card is gorgeous. Love those lights and I can see what you mean about time consuming. People have told me that I should mass produce and sell my cards, but they just don't know how much time each one takes!!! It is different if you are using pre-colored or CAS cards, but still I get bored with making all the same card for everyone. I agree this needs to go to a "card worthy" person. That is the term we would use for someone who cherishes the cards and has them as keepsakes. I have a cousin who steals my cards that I give her by ripping the front off and putting it on a new card base and passing it off as her own...so now she only gets my least favorite card. Sorry for venting today. Hugs.
Oh, Donna, your little decorating puppy is beautifully festive and cheerful! Your sentiment is darling! Fantastic card! So glad I got to see your critter project showcased at the 2 Crafty Critter Crazies Challenge. Thanks for supporting us, and we hope to see more of your pretty creations in the future. Please check back to see if you are a winner or our next guest designer. Sending you wishes for a wonderful day!
Smiles,
