Stampin Up!s Home for Christmas, Oh What Fun Triple Banner Punch Christmas Card

Today's card is aimed at those of you who have either too little time to sit and make lots of Christmas Cards, or for those of you who are new to card making

The card is made using one of the decorative papers from the Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper Pack from Stampin Up!; I have used the Christmas Carol Music Sheet for my card, but you could replace it with any of the double sided papers in the pack.
There is no need for Die Cutting, as the Triple Banner Punch does all you need for today
There is a small amount of stamping to create your own background to one of the Banners, and the sentiment too, A simple Winter Wonderland Embellishment, sets the card off nicely

Below you will find all the products used to create today's Card
