I was so happy with the way this card turned out, and yet surprised at how fast it all came together.  It's what I call a "Simple but Wow" card!   I'll definitely be making a few more of these for the upcoming holidays.

The fun wire accent is new from the Stampin' Up! 2018 Holiday Catalog, Snowflakes & Stars Wire Elements.  I adhered it to the card with a couple of glue dots strategically placed (rolled glue dots into little balls).
