25 Days of Holiday Cards: Day 8

Hello friends! 

Thanks for joining me for another card for my 25 Days of Holiday Cards!

Today's card uses an embossing folder paired with Anna Griffin's metallic paper. 

The result is so beautiful and clean!

I used the Paper Snowflakes embossing folder, foil cardstock, Perfect Palette collection and 3D sticker by Anna Griffin. I also used my Martha Stewart Nordic Snowflake punch to layer behind the Sentiment. 

My Christmas colors this season are red, silver and kraft. I'll come up with a fun card using all those colors later in the month.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a creative day.
