Countdown to Christmas...Day 1

It has been awhile since I have blogged, but I have been creating a lot recently.  My goal was to have all my Christmas cards done before December, and unless my list has grown significantly since last year I have achieved this goal.  I have created several different cards and I thought I would use my blog as a way to share my creations, some of my own design and others I have taken classes to create. 

So for December 1st, here is a card I designed:

First I should explain the backdrop...I thought the card would look cute nestled in the Christmas Village I put up each year.  

I used the following supplies: Very Vanilla and Marina Mist cardstock, Sparkly and Bright Stamp Set (retired), 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon in Marina Mist all from Stampin' Up, Rhinestones, glittered embossing powder, and corner rounder.
