Cheers to a warm and toasty Christmas

I made my monthly progressive challenge card for Gerda Steiner.  This adorable bear is perfect to give for a Christmas gift card for Starbucks.  So I made it a Twisted card which is one of my favorite layouts for a gift card.  It is a very simple design.

Paulette has her Winter Club and she made a personalized sentiment for each member to use for a gift card.  I am using mine to give to my son.  For my card, I made a twisted card which has an opening for a gift card on the inside.  I put a masculine image from Miss Rach which is available in her ETSY shop for just a $1.  I added some sequins I had - I took them out of the bag and put them in a container so I don't know the manufacturer.  The hardest part was going through my Christmas paper to find double sided paper.
