I want to share two of my favorite items from the new Holiday supplement, available online, or if you would like a paper copy I can send you one for $5 (inc.postage).
This card features the new cup of good cheer set, and inside I have used the new gift card holder die. (Of course, if I had planned ahead I would have had a coffee themed gift card to show you how it works, but ....)
I first embossed the cup (and a snowflake from the retired snow crystals set - there are plenty of small snowflakes in the new collection - they just haven't come to live with me yet) with white embossing powder, I cut it out and then used a craft knife to cut a small slit along the lower rim of the cup:
Apologies for the slightly out of focus picture (from my point of view it makes my hands look slightly less wrinkly!). I then stamped the marshmallows onto a scrap of sugar using bermuda ink and quickly sprinkled with pearl embossing powder - if you haven't used this before you simply MUST add it to your next order, this was the first time I've used it and I am SOLD! The candy cane was also stamped and cut out. They can then be poked into the slit and arranged . Then second photo shows the back.
I then I attached the whole thing to the card using puffy tape.

Love your card Karen! I've been resisting that stamp set because I already have a similar one, but it's so hard! I love the Bermuda and Cherry together - one of my fave color combos. Have a great day!
Super cute! I really need the gift card die and the chevron paper :-)
