My Christmas Gift to You

This is my favourite card of the eighty I made this year. The elegance of white embossing cannot be understated. I dry embossed one four inch wide piece of cardstock and cut it into four one inch strips. Notches were cut out of the bottom of each strip. A white paper ribbon was made with a border punch. The snowflakes were die cut and stamped with coordinating products from Verve.

Willow Tree

This is another new folder with endless possiblities. The tree can be embellished for any occasion. I used the Kraft Core'dinations to keep the background green and expose the kraft coloured tree.

Another Version

Made another card with a dry embossed, suede background so I could use my other cameo stamps. I have to make a point of pulling out some stamps that I couldn't wait to have, but seem to have neglected!
