Hello Stampers!  I made yet another card with the candy canes.  My Mom showed me how to use packaging tape to give the candy canes shine like a real candy cane.  Simply adhere packaging tape to the paper you are cutting out your candy cane from, and then die cut it.  Worked like a charm.  So then I went digging to look for a frame for the candy canes, and found the Scalloped Contours Dies.  They fit perfectly.  I embellished them with a twine bow and a silver jingle bell.  Then I need to create the base.  I cut out a red card base and then adhered a layer of the peppermint paper on top.  To finish the front I added my focal panel to the card base.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment, die cut it, and adhered it to the inside.  I embellished it with some holly.  I had made these to embellish the candy cane, but they didn't work out.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
