Waiting a long time...

My wonderful MIL gave me a Christmas stamp last year.  I had already made my holiday cards for the year; but, I wanted to be sure to use it this year.  

I had to figure out a design that made making 50 of them not too difficult or time consuming. I like the metallic look this year and decided on gold embossing. I had purchased gold cardstock for my Thanksgiving cards, but did not end up using it.  Luckily I had just enough for my holiday cards.



Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies:
Cardstock - Neenah Aspen White, Recollections
Ink - Versamakr
Embossing Powder - Hero Arts
Embossing Folder - Provo Craft
Stamps - Inkadinkado, Stampin Up (interior)
Dies - Lifestyle Crafts

Edited to add - Thanks Arlene, for the tip.  Adding this to Die Cut Diva's Holidays & Celebrations, thanks Arlene.
