Have you received your Holiday Catalog yet? Are you drooling over it? I sure did when I first saw it. I love the suites in this Holiday Catalog and my favorite, right now (because my favorite changes with each suite I work with) is the Quilted Christmas Suite on pages 4 & 5. This suite is SO MUCH FUN to use. There are so many fun embellishments and things to work with.
This is a fun card I saw on the Thailand trip last month and knew that I had to make it. Sandy Carlson, the demo that shared this, was kind enough to share the dimensions with all of us.
Don’t you love it!!! The little box hold a little gift and can be lifted off the card.
This is such a “wow” card but if very easy to make.
