Merry Christmas--Merry Monday #122

August 18, 2014

It has been a typical Monday.  It was hard to get in the groove after the weekend, but I had did sneak in lunch with my dear friend, Maxine and then I had time to play along with the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge.   The featured colors are  black, gold and silver this week.  I had a lot of ideas floating around for this card, but decided to use the new Filigree Frame Textured Impresions Embossing Folder available in the new holiday catalog.  The Festive Snowflake stamp set and dies were always favorites of mine, so I used them on my card.  The Festive Flurries dies are still available online!  ENJOY!









I love to heat emboss and enjoyed making the gold and silver snowflake!  Let me know your thoughts.  I love to hear from you!  Your comments are always appreciated.

I used the Gold Basic Medal Buttons from the new holiday catalog and the retired Merry and Type stamp set for the inside sentiment.  The Festive Flurries Stamp Set and Teeny Tiny Wishes were used on the card front.
