Wow, this is a week of wonderful surprises for me. I received an email this a.m. from my virtual pal Cindy at

TIP: A quick “to” and “from” on a tent or one-dimensional card is all you’ll need to slip into the interior. I opted for a simple chocolate rub-on and popped it up on dimensionals. Die cuts and embossing were created with my Big Shot and Nestabilities Long Rectangles.

The back of the die cuts is one of the best parts of the show. Check out the details above of the sweet scallops.
Mary—-everything is so pretty! WOW~Thanks for sharing all your goodies with us—what great inspiration!
You know, you are going to award yourself right into another job, girl! Pretty soon, we’ll be seeing you in magazines and on t.v.
Keep it up. You inspire me.
WOW! I thought they were lovely Christmas cards at first, not envelopes! And congratulations on being chosen at SCS! What an honor!
Congrats! Cute cards!
Mary, too cute!!! Darlin’, do you emboss your paper before you put it in the Big Shot to do the scalloped envelope, or after you diecut the envelope?
Thanks!
Happy Turkey Day!
Thanks for stopping by. I cut first and then popped the die cut in my embossing folder. Worked great for me and kept the “impressions” fresh (and not flattened by a second process through the machine. Make sense?
Happy Thanksgiving.
Hugs,
Mary
