Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge 247

We all have those border punches and dies but how often do you think about using more than one of them on a card. Well that's what we're doing this week. I've used a super wide snowflake punch on the bottom layer and a small scalloped punch for 2 layers. Check it out.

Here is a great technique. Glue die cuts onto your cardstock background. Put it into an embossing folder and run it through your Cuttlebug, or whatever machine you use. Go on over and try it out.
