The cards are made and sent. My little 'closet tree' is out of the closet [stays decorated all year long] Fritz and Friend are on the front porch - I'll try to remember to share a photo. Time to say thank you to all my wonderful friends who send me cards, and those who stop by each week to leave me encouragement and love on my posts at I Card Everyone and here at the Doodlebugs blog. I appreciate it, so very much! so, THANKS A MILLION sweet friends!
Here is how I used my newest embossing folder from Spellbinders:
Holiday Floral Swag...
First, I emboss a half-sheet of cardstock to get the full story -
Then I use an A2 panel to see what other options I have:
A light bulb moment when I decide to use a Spellbinder Postage Edge die to cut an oval instead:
... and create a card base using the same die ...
... mount the embossed oval and add some glam with Foundry Wax* [from the friend who will actually GET this card] and a
Fancy Thanks from Altenew!
By snipping a bit of the oval off of the back panel, it
will stand on its own - pretty cool, right?
Thanks a million, and one times!
