The designers participating from The Twinery also had
a wonderful time using products from Clearsnap.
For my project I used:
Design Adhesives Holly Border
Glitter in 'Fool's Gold'
Smooch Ink in 'Siren'
I love the new Heirloom Ornaments dies from Spellbinders
and the holly border just off-set on the side was a
perfect accent. The berries are colored with the Smooch ink
and the border is stamped with a set from Hampton Arts.
The Radiant Circles punch is from EK Success and makes
an effective backdrop.
Of course, no project is complete without a
little bakers twine finish from The Twinery.
I am so glad you stopped by...please remember to
