With Christmas just around the corner, we made a start on our Christmas Cards in Crafty Creations this arvo. As it is purely a volunteer class, I
am able to get more use out of some of my retired stamp sets, DSP, etc. Each week we try & do a small technique & this week it was Heat Embossing.
We created a card similar to this one in one our Technique Classes last year. It has been changed around a little for today’s class.
