Today I am sharing a pretty and sparkly Christmas card using ribbon and mulberry flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon along with digital stamps and svg cut files from Bonnie Garby Designs.
If you like this card, but are planning to mail it, you can eliminate the bow and the flowers and it still looks gorgeous!
I created a 4-3/4″ x 6-1/2″ square card with loads of layers. My digital sentiment from Bonnie Garby Designs is my main focal point. I ran a piece of gold Glitz Ribbon topped with Cardinals and Ornaments on White Satin Ribbon across the center of the card. I topped it off with a pretty double loop bow using gold Glitz Ribbon and below the sentiment I have added some pretty 15 and 20mm Red Open Roses.
The sentiment on the front of my card is from my Merry Christmas Sentiments SVG Bundle. I used it as a full color digital stamp by just printing out my selected sentiment. There is also a classic digital stamp set (shown below as well) if you want to print the sentiments in black. The interior Sentiment is from the Vintage Christmas Sentiments for the Inside Digi Stamp Bundle. The background was created with the Layered Netting Overlay SVG Bundle. All my designs can be found on my Bonnie Garby Designs Etsy shop.
All of my Bonnie Garby Designs digital stamp and svg bundles are available in my Etsy shop.

My card is topped off with a pretty double loop bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 Tool using gold Glitz Ribbon.

Beautiful card, Bonnie! The bow and flower option is great for mailing or hand delivering. The ribbon with the cardinals is fantastic. Your bows are always spectacular. I love the traditional red and green with the pop of gold. The digi sentiments are fabulous. The inside sentiments I purchased are wonderful. Thanks for sharing at A Cut Above’s November, “Anything Goes With A Die Cut” and optional “Warm It Up” Challenge.
Beautiful Christmas card, I love that gorgeous bow, thanks for sharing with us at Fab’n’Funky.

Beautiful card, with gorgeous details. Being a lover of SVG’s, I appreciate the work that has gone on, in this card. However, our rules state no preprinted images, I’m sorry, but your card will be ineligible for the challenge. The rules are here – https://www.welovestamping.co.uk/p/challenge-rules.html. Thank you so much for joining us in our challenge at We Love Stamping. I hope you will join us in our next challenge.

I’m a bit confused Faith as this is the #1 rule listed on your challenge blog:
1) Entries must have At least one stamped element on the front of entries using either conventional rubber/acrylic stamps or digital images.
This is a digital stamp. It says EITHER conventional rubber/acrylic or digital.
I did check the rules and would not have entered if it was not in compliance. Is it because it’s a digital stamp sentiment in color rather than black?? I’m sorry for the confusion. Feel free to delete my entry if that is appropriate. I will be sure not to enter with a digital stamp again. My apologies.
So very pretty in the traditional Christmas colors, and I love the layered, cut background. Thanks for joining us at The Paper Funday Challenge.

Gorgeous card with deep wonderful colors. So glad you joined us at The Creative Crafters for our challenge this month.
Hi Bonnie, by chance I visited and saw you had replied to Faith, I’m never sure if people do re-visit once they have commented, I rarely do, but pleased I did as I don’t think you read our riles fully. If you read on to 2) of WLS rules you will see the section to which Faith refers which is clear about pre-coloured images.
