CCT Anything Goes

I hope you had a good Christmas and got lots of lovely presents. The theme at CCT this week is Anything Goes. I have made a couple of gift card holders for my nieces.  The cards are made with the recently released Lawn Fawn Woodland Critter Huggers and Stitched Gift Card Pocket dies. I love these critters they are so cute and easy to make. I'm looking forward to having a play with them in the new year to see what other animals I can come up with. The cardstock is also Lawn Fawn.



Happy New Year x
