A Simple Handmade Christmas Card with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder

 I love the simple details of the embossed plaid texture of today’s simple handmade Christmas card!  Isn’t it rich and modern? And how about those fun adhesive backed peppermints!  The Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder and Adhesive Backed Peppermints are on the list of My Favorite Things

what makes a simple handmade Christmas card? – bold die-cut sentiments!

WHAT I LOVE!  The bold die cut “Christmas” (Peaceful Season bundle and one of My Favorite Things) makes a bold and festive statement.  My favorite part?  Dotting the “i” in “Christmas” with another adhesive backed peppermint!
