Differentiate your cards by adding embellishments. On one card, I added a ribbon and tied it off in a bow. On another card, I simply added two strips of ribbon on one side of the card. Thoughts?

North Pole Collage

I am a Paper Pumpkin subscriber. I enjoy opening and putting my kit together according to the instructions that are included with each kit. Honestly, sometimes I need a different sentiment or I just know I will never use the one that comes with the kit. That is no big deal, I just switch it out to something I need or I know that I will use in the future. My only other frown happens when they send tags, or gift bags, boxes, etc. Usually, I can turn the tag into a card front. I think these worked just fine. Thoughts? 




Stamps:
   From the North Pole (November, 2022 - Paper Pumpkin Kit)

Paper:
   Cherry Cobbler A-2 (Too)
   Crumb Cake A-2 (North Pole, Tre)
   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)
   Holidays Fancy Foil Vellum 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:
   Cherry Cobbler

Technique:
   CAS

Accessories:
   Glue Dots
   Dimensionals
   Adhesive

I followed the instructions, included with the kit to make each of the tags above.

I then attached them to the center of a card front that included a panel of Holidays Fancy Foil Vellum on a Basic White panel along with another Basic White panel for the inside of each card. Here is a closer look at each of the three cards:
