Hello!
I am up again for the Thursday stash challenge at Creative Inspiration.
Today we are using ribbon from our stash. I used a few small pieces of ribbon from my stash for this Christmas card:

A Gift For You Card

Hello!
It's my day to post the Thursday Stash challenge at Creative Inspiration today.
My challenge is to dig out a Christmas collection from your stash and use some of it up.
I used Fancy pants Holiday Hustle for this card:

The card front actually will hold a gift card. I only glued the black and white paper and the fussy cut gifts to the word paper so I can tuck in a gift card. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
