Holiday Sparkle: Glitter Ritz and Die Cuts

It’s been at least a couple of weeks since I shared a Glitter Ritz card. Lest you think I’m losing my touch, I’ve made a couple more. But this time, instead of using Peel-Off Stickers, I’ve used die cuts from Dee’s Distinctively Dies. Despite the grammatical travesty that is their brand name, these dies are very pretty and well made.I …

This is My Workspace Today
