Fury Folks & Cards?

Yup, leave up to the Creative Bug team to add animals, Christmas, and jewelry together :-) Well that is exactly what we did with this card! When the Holiday Mini was released I literally wanted EVERYTHING! but I needed to calm myself down and choose what I wanted to demo before the holidays.

The Peek-A-Boo die cut set is so versatile. It goes beautifully with our 25 & Counting stamp set to make a wonderful Advent calendar but it also has many uses. With this latest card we made a peek-a-boo framed card showing off a set of friend’s to celebrate just being my friend and sticking by me. I taught this card to 114 woman & 2 gentlemen at this year's stamp camp. Boy was it a ton of work. I was so nervous but I made it through the day and I helped the other demo's sell lots peek-a-boo dies because their customers loved it.

Here is the front of the card with the "window" shut.
