My card is called a swing through card. I used my silhouette to cut the pieces, but it could be easily replicated with some circular dies.
After putting the card together, I colored each ornament with intense water colors and pearlized dimensional paint. I adhered them to the swing cut outs and added more dimensional paint in the center of the flower.
A pine cone with a few berry stickers were added, as well as a "Seasons Greetings" word from scrapbook paper.

The really cool thing about this type of card is the way it opens and is free standing, making it ideal to use as a Christmas decoration. Here it is when you open the card. It shows both the front and back focal points.
For the tag, I layered some scrapbook papers and cut it into a tag shape. I used black acrylic paint for the body of the penguin, and colored the parts with my intense water colors. I added a pair of mittens to keep his little flippers warm, and used a black marker to draw in his eyes.
To make the peppermint candy, I used two chippies and colored both sides of each with red and white paint. I adhered them together so the red would show through the openings on the white side, and vice versa. I used a glue dot to adhere it to a ribbon bow at the top, and added the "Happy Holidays" cut from a piece of scrapbook paper.
