Hello and welcome back for day 23 of my 

Yes I am sure you've noticed by now that I have been playing catch up before the year ends. It's been a crazy month full of so much on my to do list that I didn't have a chance to go back and schedule all of the posts I had intended but for 2108 I have a better plan!

So onto card 23! 

Here's another one of my Christmas pocket die cards. I added some twine to the sentiment for this one. I love the way they cut Anna's glitter paper.

Thanks for stopping by!

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.
