Hello and welcome to Day 16 of

Today's card features a beautifu Angel from Anna's Angelic Card toppers.

I finished the card off with a wired double box. I love adding bows to my cards. Some people have asked me how I mail them. I just side a smaller square of cardstock over the bow and then seal the envelope.

25 Days of Holiday Cards Day 15

Hello and welcome to Day 15 of my 

I don't know about you but I am so into the foiled look these days for card making. Therm-O-Web has some amazing products to create with. For today's card I created with some of Gina K Designs holiday Foil Mates and fun Fancey Foils.

Here's a great tip for foiling that I mentioned in Day 5 but I shot a step out for you to see. Use frame dies to mount your negative foil images to and create a second card.

Thank you for stopping by!
