Here is my creative inspiration!  

I am gearing up for the Christmas holidays with my new embossing folders and die-cuts.  This CAS card is embellished with the Couture Creations Wild Holly Embossing Folder and Memory Box Snowflake Sprig Die-cut.  I inked the edges of the embossed layer with Memento Desert Sand Ink.

The snowflakes are covered with Ranger Glue N' Seal and distress glitter to add the sparkle! Some lovely gems as the final touch.

A little about World Card Making Day...

 WORLD CARD MAKING DAY

World Card Making Day began in 2006 as National Card Making Day founded by Paper Crafts magazine, and was so popular, it is now a worldwide event. 

Celebrating its eighth year in 2013, World Card Making Day is celebrated annually on the first Saturday in October. It's a day for the card-making community -- hobbyists, retailers, and manufacturers -- to unite and celebrate the connection and creativity that is the heart of card making.
