Well quite a few sheets actually but still trying to use up all the pieces and the
Craft Club topic did get me started on my Christmas cards.
I have made 33 this past week and already had 24 in my box (22 from last year - 2 from other craft club sessions). So 57 in all so far.

Had a awful lot of trouble with the freebie die I got on a magazine the other week. It is rather an intricate swirly Christmas tree and after my first attempts I went out and bought me some Baking Parchment, but that didn't work either.

I tried Quickutz ejection foam but that just marked the mirri card and popped out the whole shape, pointless, so I removed it and coated the die with baby powder. I think the sticky from the foam held some of the powder as it was a lot better this time but not sure I'll bother using it much!

Here are the 2 cards I made a few weeks ago. One with the
Distress ink from an acrylic block technique, the other made with
Glitter Paste.

Hi BJ,
Nice Christmas cards! You sure went to a lot of trouble trying to figure out how to best use the free die - it is pretty though.
You have 57 Christmas cards already made? Really? Wow! How many people are on your card list?
Hugs,

Great self of cards, you could also wipe the die with a tumble drier sheet that might help x
Wow, I've not even thought about Christmas cards yet - but I love the tree, pity it is so hard to cut.
Wow so many cards amazing, congrats.
