Framed Squirrels - KSS Monday

Several weeks ago I had the good fortune to be looking through the clearance aisle at Hobby Lobby just after they put a ton of Spellbinders dies out at rock bottom prices! What a score! I picked up 5 new-to-me sets for just $5.40 each!

I have been hard at work getting Christmas cards made for an upcoming auction and hadn't gotten to try any of them out until today. I am thrilled with today's results and feel that I have already gotten my $5.40 worth out of the first set with these two cards!

The dies I used to frame KSS's Autumn Squirrel Multi Step Clear Stamps are from a set called Majestic Elements. I used 2 dies from the set to design today's 10 minute card. The 20 minute card used 3 dies from the set as well as a circle die. I also stamped leaves on the card front and added a bow to the 20 minute design.  (Post sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps)
