Here is my project-

When opened- 

And with a ribbon and gold shiny cardstock-

I made up a dozen of these cards to be given away at a year end banquet for our car club.  I'll split them into two bags of six so another person has a shot at winning some. These were so fast and easy to make, thanks to the tutorial at Jennifer McGuire, Ink. Here are the materials I used to make these cards-

1. Dies: ornament with layer (Sizzix, but here is a link where there are many choices!), bow (Frantic Stamper)
2. Embossing Folders: snowflakes, holly, (Anna Griffith, Cuttlebug).
3. Paper: Neenah White Cardstock, purple, blue, silver shimmer paper (stash), gold metallic (Tim Holtz Metallic cardstock).
4. Stamp: sentiment (Technique Tuesday).
   
5. Other: I-rock gems (Imaginisce), sheer purple ribbon (American Crafts). 

You don't have to use a layered ornament. If you have stitched, stamped, or even plain it would work as well. Also, the tiny purple bow is called a fork bow, and tutorials on You Tube are plentiful. Give it a try!
