Twelve Days of Gift Giving - Day Two!

Welcome to day two of the Xyron/Design Memory Craft (Faber-Castell)/Creative Imaginations blog hop! Today we've got card making on our minds - and this project from Stacy Rodriguez uses a technique that I've never tried before. Stacy took the CI Snowflakes Varnish Cardstock Paper and colored over it using a blue Faber-Castell Color Gelato, then wiped off the excess gelato and voila! You have a wonderful snowflake card! Can't wait to try it!

Stacy has two more great projects on her blog today, and if you head over to the Faber-Castell blog they have step-by-step instructions to create this darling ornament from Mou Saha!

Do you love Faber-Castell as much as we do?  They are having a Design Team call and are looking for some talented folks to join their team!  Hurry - the deadline is November 16th - click here for more information.

Can't wait to see what the next ten days bring - happy Tuesday everybody!
