Second Helpings for FMS #647 - and another dozen Christmas cards!

I promised to share the Christmas cards for my senior gentleman!  It was a fun day spent with another pad of paper from my cousin... I barely put a dent in it!


When making hundreds of cards, those fun pages of ephemera and tags
really come in handy.  I couldn't help but add a few fun details...


How about a few 'closeups' of my favorites...


I brought out an ancient ric rac die from MFT! Can you see the FMS#647 Sketch?



I was thrilled when I discovered that my Waffle Flower Stitched Diamond
cover die perfectly cut these darling dudes - they just had to be popped up!


Two examples of letting the tag do the work - by die cutting
with some favorite cover dies, and adding 'stitched' details with dies...


... or just a simple twine bow!  I just love these snowy sweethearts!

I hope your weekend is a fun one!

  14. Wow! I am catching up here. I see you have been working and rocking those papers! I, like most of us I am sure, have a gazillion stacks of patterned paper. The FMS Sketch is perfect for using it. All of these cards are wonderful. You are also doing lots of stash diving, which is wonderful too!
