CAS Christmas March 2018 - #2

Hello friends.  Playing with CAS Christmas AGAIN, because I love making Christmas cards!!


My CAS card uses scraps of papers that I had done with Lindy's Magicals (have I mentioned before how much I LOVE these?!!) and a couple new dies.


 
I so wish I could capture the shimmer and shine these Magicals have...mind blowing in my humble opinion!!  The "be merry" die was a birthday gift from a dear friend and is made by Cut PLORATIONS (a STAMPlorations product) and the Holly die I'm guessing at Poppystamps (I think it was one of Colleen's dies that she brought to our crafting weekend at the Craft House in Kansas).  The dry embossing around my card is from the Stately embossing folder by Craft Concepts.

This challenge is open till the 24th and there are absolutely GORGEOUS cards from the DT and in the gallery to inspire you using a Holly.  You can check it all out right HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

These magical powders really are amazing and I'm so glad to have been able to see their "magic" in real life. The embossing frames your stunning die cuts perfectly!

Colleen said...

I knew I recognized that die, and yes, I did bring it with me to share and so glad you die cut a few!...I do love those magical powders, I wonder if you could add shimmer spray on top of brushos or even add perfect pearls to help achieve the shimmer that you get when you use the Lindy's?? I will give it a try and report back !

Beautiful and eye-catching CAS design. I’ve read so much about these Magicals that I bought some, but have yet to use them. I can’t wait to give it a try as I’m sure it’s dazzling IRL. Thank you for joining us at CAS Christmas. x
