Okay......so I don't usually say this about my own stuff but this card came out AWESOME! It may be hard to see but 5 of the presents are cut out and popped up on dimensionals, and then I put crystal effects on all of them. The ones that are popped up kinda look like little "shrinky-dink" presents! I also just really like the way the colors all came together. The bookmark matches so I added it to the photo....both were a birthday gift for my Mom!
(as much as I would like to take full credit for the layout of this card I can't.....the original idea for the presents came from another splitcoast user - but I can no longer find the card to add the link to view it. Sorry!)

I can't view it, either. Wonder why...... So I'm glad you told us you popped 5 of the presents --- I'm sure that looks terrific, and I'd have never thought of doing it!

Hey! It's up now! I'm so glad I came back to it --- and put it into my favorites! This is SO cute up close! I really like what the crystal effects did to this. The coordinating bookmark is just darling! I love the colors you put together for this set; I'd never have thought of it.
