The quote stamp I'm using on this card is one of the newest from the 2011 Xmas stamps by  Quietfire Design

Suzanne's stamps are just so beautifully done - love them

I started with a side fold card. Inked up the background Poinsettia flower (Flourishes set#37 "Poinsettia & Boxwood" set) with Distress stamp pad "Festive Berry", stamped on some scrap cardstock, misted with water very lightly and then stamped onto my card front (this makes it a 2nd generation stamping). I cut out the outline of the stamp using my electronic cutter, masked the flowers on the card and stamped with the text stamp (Impression Obsession "Christmas Text" #CC103 C.A.C.) using Iced Spruce. Love these seasonal Distress Stamp Pads. Used a piece of paper as a mask to sponge the border of the card with the Iced Spruce.

Die cut the Poinsettia layers (Spellbinders) and inked up with the Festive Berries, then edged with Aged Mahogany. Ran it through my Embossing machine with the Cuttlebug "Swiss Dots" folder, then touched the dots with a silver gel pen. Stacked and adhered them together, then onto the card. Cut a couple of leaves from the Flourishes Poinsettia set, inked and misted my stamp and added them to the flower.

Stamped the quote with Versafine Black Onyx, die cut with Spellbinders Label 4 and sponged some Aged Mahogany around the edges. Cut slits at either end to slip my red gauze ribbon through and then adhered both to card.
