Christmas Stars and Stamping and Blogging

Hi Everyone!
Just back from and incredible 5 days in St George Utah!! I was at the Founders Circle Retreat with Stampin' Up!s Top 100 Demonstrator's! What fun and what an honor!!!

I got back just in time to create this little card for the Stamping and Blogging Design Team...I hope you like it.

This card features The Star Framelits and the fabulous new Kraft Paper and Under The Tree Specialty Designer Paper. I Love, love, love this stuff!
Added to the card are Linen Thread for  the bow and a Brass Button just 'cause!!! I also added a gold mat behind the red specialty paper along with just a touch of Garden Green to make it officially Christmas! I used the saying from Festival of Trees to pop across the star and added a few rhinestones.
Here are the supplies I used for this card:
