Let's Squash It! Challenge 2

Hmmm a Christmas themed embossing folder?  Hope the gals at Let's Squash It challenge 2 think it does!  lol  But if it doesn't, I sure had fun making this card anyway!  It features a wonderful embossing folder from Richard Garay.

This snowy folder was sent to so many of my friends - every time I found it at Hobby Lobby I bought another!  It's such a beauty - see if you agree... I'll give you a close-up first...

I can't imagine a more beautiful spot for a Christmas kiss under the Mistletoe!  This gorgeous Mistletoe Bundle from Memory Box was a birthday gift from a dear friend, and honestly, I couldn't wait to get it in my machine!  and dust it with 'snow' for this Wintery scene!


Almost time for the 'boss' to be home ... better get posting, and cooking!  Thanks for the visit!

    Gorgeous!! What a fantastic card. I think I got this folder because of you? I will have to go look in my stash. Regardless, you showcased it wonderfully here. Love it on a slimline. And that mistletoe? Mwah! Thanks for sharing!

    This is gorgeous, Michele! Looks like a Christmas EF to me as it's pine/fir and the mistletoe is fab too. Delighted to see embossing AND stamping! Thanks for playing at Let's Squash It with Gail and me, Jo x

    I used the same folder for my entry, Michele, but saved the mistletoe for another card. Looks like we're on the same wave length, sort of. ;) It's a beautiful card!

    Lovely Mistletoe, Michele! I love the gorgeous texture in the background, and the beautiful slimline card design! A bit of snow is a wonderful finishing touch!

    p.s. Great photo styling too - the sharp dark shadow of the card, the gray background, the tree echoing the slim tall shape of the card.
