Aloha, all! One of the first stamp sets that I bought when I started using Stampin' Up! products (years ago) was a set that used "2-step stamping."

Like yesterday's Christmas Card, today's uses the Little Felt Flurries from Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Mini Catalog. Today, though, I really added the embellishments big time!

Pocket Silhouettes – So Versatile!
The last few days, I've been featuring cards that I've made as gift sets. One of the stamp sets that I used was Pocket Silhouettes (item number 111672, if you'd like to order online).
