I was so excited by the new Diemond Dies EZ Flip It dies. They are so fun to use to make super cute fun fold easel cards! For the two cards featured here, I used the My Creative Times Christmas Doggy stamp set, some old papers from my stash, including the My Mind’s Eye “All Is Bright” collection, and the following Diemond Dies:<\/p>\n

The following is a video of my Copic coloring of the cute little Christmas Doggy in different colors along with a review of Marvy Uchida’s Liquid Applique and DecoArt’s Snow Writer (UPDATE: after de-clogging my Snow Writer, it came out beautifully and I LOVE the way it dries\/cures solidly. \u00a0This is a much better long-term material for using on cards, layouts, and alter projects since it does not deflate or get crushed over time (or in the mail)):<\/p>\n
