Hi, hi! Toni here with you today. I’m sharing a couple of quick holiday cards assuming that you’re in a cardmaking panic realizing that Christmas is practically tomorrow. LOL.

Both of my cards use the Memory Box Stunning Mandala 3D Embossing Folder on top of Glitzy Glitter cardstock.
Now I didn’t waste all that fabulous glitter cardstock beneath. I cut the Frosty Flake Layering dies from the gorgeous purple and Honey Script Peace out of the blue (for use later).

I used sentiments from Christmas Mandala for both as well–embossing in silver or stamping in Versafine Onyx Black.
I must say it’s incredibly difficult to take good pics of the white background of these cards but I wanted to show you the amazing embossing of the Memory Box Stunning Mandala 3D Embossing Folder.

The blue card uses the mandala with the texture facing out. For the purple snowflake card (look at that snowflake!–swoon), I ran the embossed card panel through my Big Shot to flatten it some and then used the reverse, debossed side. Both are so very beautiful, don’t you think?

Thanks for stopping by and taking time out of your busy day. I hope you get some (crafty) time to yourself soon!
