Today I am sharing two cards that I created for Stampin’ Up! to share on the corporate Facebook Page as part of the Artisan Design Team. The Mistletoe Magic Bundle is absolutely GORGEOUS and I decided to showcase the different looks you get by using the stamped image versus the die-cut image. I kept the colors traditional for Christmas cards – Mossy Meadow and Cherry Cobbler.
