CTS #104

It's bitter cold and snowy here so I spent yesterday in my craft room just playing.  I had a stamp set that I wanted some practice with and a couple of techniques I wanted to try.  You may see the results of my play later but today's card is one I did several days ago as a Thank You for my folks to send to the staff at the facility where they reside.  They went out of their way to make the holidays special.
 

I used the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch, a thanks die from MFT, a Martha Steward edge punch and some paper from Echo Park.  Try as I might to do a partial die cut, the word kept cutting through.  I am beginning to think this technique works better with a different machine.  I finally just cut several more layers, glued them together and set it on top.  


Thanks for stopping by.  Keep warm and keep crafting.
