Christmas Squares

It's been months since I worked on challenge cards.  I had a bit of time today so I did it.
I started with a Stampin Up Old Olive card which I put in the landscape orientation.  I have selected Letters to Santa DSP which was trimmed to leave a small border. I wrapped a piece of Whisper White grosgrain ribbon over the join of 2 pieces of DSP. The ends are taped to the back.  I stamped the greeting and distressed the edges with Old Olive on WW. The greeting is from Good Greetings. I adhered it across the bottom third of the card.  I cut a piece of Early Espresso with the QuicKutz Square Window die.  I adhered a piece of WW behind it and stamped a snowflake from the Delightful Decorations stamp set with Old Olive in each square.  It was adhered to the card front with 3D foam tape.

Submitting this card to the following challenges:
Stampin Celebration - Sketch - 121

Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge - Frame It

Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge - Anything Goes

Ready2Go Card Kits - SU - Letter to Santa Buttons

The last set of card kits for this project. 
I selected two papers from the Letters to Santa Designer paper set.  The top is large bold words in Early Espresso on white and the bottom was Early Espresso background with diamond pattern in Old Olive.  I cut the bottom to 4.00" W x 3.5" T and the top to 4.00" W x 1.75" T.  I taped these together so they became one piece and then adhered the Old Olive Striped grosgrain ribbon over the join ensuring good adhesion where the button will be placed. I taped the ends to the back.  I adhered this to the card front.  I selected the Brushed Bronze buttons into which I tied a length of Old Olive grosgrain ribbon and trimmed the ends.  I adhered the button to the card front with a large Zot.

R2G Card Kits - SU - Letters to Santa

Another set of Ready2Go Card Kits.  I started with one of the designs from the Letters to Santa double sided designer paper.  I cut the 12 x 12 inch sheets down into 2" strips giving me 12 per sheet.  I designed the greeting with the Ornament Keepsake stamp set in Marina Mist with Early Espresso on the outline and the greeting.  It is cut to 2.75 inches square.  The accent layers are Early Espresso card stock - strip is .5 inch and the square is 3 inches.  The DSP stripe is adhered to the left then the EE card stock strip.  The greeting layer is adhered with 3D foam tape.

I made some ornaments Riding Hood Red and others Old Olive with cards to match.
