The kit for the latest Card & A Cuppa included a die cut Christmas Bough from the Stitched Brightly Dies. These dies are a quick and easy way of making a Christmas card. Add a few layers to take it to the next level and voila.
Everyone attending the event receives the same kit and I take three made up cards using items from the kit. Some cards use the whole kit and others use most but not all.
This is one of the cards I made.
