My crafting gifts from Santa came from the dads: a Michael's gift card and some mad money. [Since I am putting my Michael's card towards adhesives, I'm thinking anything I've made over the holidays should count for this challenge. :)]
But, I'll share something that I'm working on for next Christmas made with a new punch -- a purchase made with my dad's mad money gift. This is still a work in progress, but it's starting to take shape...

The intial inspiration for this card was the absolutely adorable wreath card on Carol L's wonderful blog. (If you haven't visited Carols' blog, you sooooo have to see her amazing creations!) The second inspiration was Hero Art's Pine Bough stamp. I used this stamp on my very first holiday cards and thought the punch could make the stamp's concept even more dimensional.
Can't wait to see what you all make from Santa's crafty presents.
Happy scrappin' to all!

Pretty! I forgot about Carol's card until this...I was thinking of getting that punch! Thanks for sharing!
Such lovely detail in this card! The multiple layers really do add so much dimension. I bet it looks even better in person. Really nice traditions too. I agree that time together really is a gift during the busy holiday season.
Wow, this is simply gorgeous! Thanks for playing in our Midweek Throwdown challenge at Operation Write Home!
Love this card. The punched pieces must be a lot of work though.
Wonderful Christmas card :) I've just had a very nice stroll through your blog- so many wonderful creations!
