  1. These gate fold style cards are always a fun way to use existing embossing folders and stamps.
    Your cards are lovely!

  2. Dear Jennifer – I hope I added the O Holy Night stencil to my cart last night… I think I did. I just love your card made w/ that stencil. I think it’s genius! The gatefold cards are pretty, esp the one w/ the seaglass colored paper in the background. The last card w/ the Burst Snowflakes folder is super-pretty as well. I am really happy w/ this new release from SSS. Great post – thanks! You’ve piqued my interest for those other stepped-up backgrounds! They look dazzling!

    Prayers continue for your healing!
