Happy New Year Greetings!

Here’s a New Year’s card with some extra trimmings.  The paper was cut with a scallopped blade and the corners were all punched with a convex corner punch.  The sparkly snowflake was a die cut that was cut from glitter mesh, and a jewel snowflake was adhered on top of that.  The envelope coordinates and […]
