Do you love card kits? I sure do, so I had a blast yesterday with the new @simonsaysstamp December card kit Joy to You and Yours and made 4 cards with the fabulous supplies. A vintage card with a pretty deer. A deco foiled and embossed one, and two simple one layer stamped and foiled ones. I used Deco Foil (in the kit), so a laminator was used for the foil transfer. It was fun to change it up a bit from regular foiling. Now to get all these Christmas Cards into the mail before Easter, haha.... Hope you are having a great day.
