Let's get crafting.

These cards are so versatile and festive! 

Every card has a touch of gold foil

If you don't send all of these cards this year, you won't have to worry about sending duplicates next year.

My only regret is not having the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder on hand for some of these cards.
