Day 2 Holiday Card Workshop Die Cutting for Holiday Cards

Day 2 Holiday Card Workshop Die Cutting for Holiday Cards

I really wanted to try the Layered Die Cut Inlay shown by Jennifer, but when I pulled out the Die's I wanted to use they were attached and I couldn't pull them apart to Layer them.  What a bummer.....

So I decided to use my Snowman Die and use the Technique shown by Laurie Willison, Unique Die Cut folds.  Create a flap behind your Die Cut to reveal a special message.

Autumn Leaves

Autumn is my favorite time of year.  I love the colors of the tree's and the smell in the air.  Although, living in Florida you do not see much of the colors or the cooler weather that it brings.  But, it's still my favorite. 

I love the Mighty Oak Stamp and Die set from PaperTrey Ink.  I was only going to post one photo but I love the variety of colors and ways you can use the set.
