This Ways To Use It challenge was to make a mini slimline card. I had a pack of Regals 12 X 12 textured cardstock. I cut a piece of the red to 6 X 7, scored and folded so it is 6 X 3.5. I die cut the letters. I stamped the ornaments and cut them out. The hardest thing was attaching the thin gold metallic thread to the ornaments. After getting through that frustration, I popped up each ornament and called it done! Thanks for taking a peek!!

Great ornaments. And yes, I hear you on tying that fine cord around them!! I usually use the tiniest dot of glue so it doesn't come undone again. The textured base is lovely.

Yes, n that thin thread tying! My arthritic fingers do NOT like to do this. That said, the ornaments are very pretty; they remind me of the vintage ornaments I have from my grandma's Christmas trees. The large white letters really pop!

They might have been difficult to tie, but the gold ties look wonderful on those vintage ornaments, CarrollAnn! What a festive and fun Christmas card using the mini slimline size!
