hello my fellow crafters and welcome to my blog. For today’s blog I am working with a lot of Tim Holtz product. I started off by stamping the snowflakes with clear embossing ink and then embossed them with a holographic embossing powder.

To finish it off I made snowflakes with an embossing folder (Impresslits) that cuts them out… Read More

Now this die set form Concord and 9th makes… Read More

That combined with some vellum and circle dies and this card is already done. Well… that could have been… Read More
