Christmas Happiness
It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas outside but it’s cozy here in the studio today. I’ve been working on cards for some very special people and I thought I’d share one of the designs with you today.
I can’t even tell you how much I LOVE the Cable Knit Dynamic Embossing Folder. Ugh! It’s it GORGEOUS! It’s the perfect background for this card. Don’t you think?
The supplies I used are listed below. Remember, if there are any of the supplies you’d like to purchase, just click go right to my Online Store by CLICKING HERE.
OOPS…I forgot to mention that the ribbon on the original card happens to be retired. I substituted a gorgeous alternative though that you’ll love.
It’s in the supply list.
What are you working on for the holiday? I’d love to see!
Wishing you a magical day,
Michelle
