Lisa, this week's Ways to Use it hostess, is giving us a chance to play with our new toys this week in WT669 New Year, New to You.
My son and his wife were very, very, very good to me this year, three sets of Tim Holtz thinlts and a sealing wax set! I wanted to use as many of their gifts as possible in their thank you card. I'm also trying to use at least one item from my stash on each card. Thanks for the inspiration, Lisa!
I die cut the holly, sponged gold ink and heat embossed the holly sprigs. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment, edged the panel with a gold paint pen and backed it with a Distress ink/pearlescent watercolor bg. Used dimensional tape to raise the panel and added the holly sprigs to finish.
I made a matching envelope with the punch board and embossed the flap. Finished it off with a beautiful sealing wax F. TFL

Great Holly and Was on your card and envelope Carla. I am so glad I have inspired you to use one old item on each of your cards. I am trying very hard to use stuff up and am forcing myself to make as many cards as I can with the old stuff to use it up so the new items will have a place in my craft room. It is honestly adding nicely to my cards too so win-win! Thank you for such an amazing sample for my challenge.
