I agree, very cool brick work on the card!!!!

Here are 2 more cards I made. My niece and a good friend both had surgery recently, so I made them Gate fold cards.

Uh oh - may get in trouble for posting one at a time = but I am trying Lisa - just haven't hit Christmas yet!!! All of these birthdays are getting in the way!

My oldest granddaughter turns 12 on the 30th - yikes! Who could have guessed she would be into Batman!!! Hence the Batman logo card. The black batman logo is Tyler's velvet paper - cuts like butter. And true confessions - this was my firsts time cutting chipboard :hide: :hide: I know.. I know.......!! So I used Tyler's .022 chipboard and cut the letters out twice, glued them together and glittered them. Could not believe I was able to do that with the regular 45 degree blade!

The inside was foiled on vellum - I tried to get a good picture and just could not capture all of it without getting shading -but in person it is all bright silver using a file folder to the carrier - having great success with that.

LOL Elizabeth - not hardly - but at least I am finally using it - a LOT. Now that I have been able to get consistently good results I want to use it all of the time!! Funny how that works! :)

I keep hoping to use mine enough to get consistent results. I pictured using it a lot for Christmas projects, so it is probably time to jump all over it! (My issue is with my printer, rather than the Foil Master or foils.)

Here is my latest entry. I have seen these rosette style snowflakes around for the past few weeks. I thought it would be fun to create my own files. I will be sharing them on my blog soon.

They are really fun to make, and I will be making lots of them to add to packages, and as party favors for the ladies brunch that I host each December.
