The Sweet Candy Cane bundle from the J-D Mini Catalogue from Stampin' Up! is a lot of fun to use.

It is the focus of our Sweet Candy Cane Mega Stamp Camp this month.

Leanne Livingstone and I created 8 great projects and we will be sharing them with our fantastic "Peeps" in our classes in September.

I was playing with the Candy Cane dies and came up with a way to use all of the pieces when you die cut the large background die.

As you can see, there are several strips that are die cut that you wouldn't use on one card. So I die cut a second one, and mixed them together to create these 2 pretty cards ....

 

The one above was first cut using the Lights Aglow Specialty designer paper (the outside frame)

Then I saved the strips to add to the second card .... 

 

The second one was cut from some of the Gold & Silver Specialty paper that was available during Sale-a-Bration.  I saved the strips and added them to the first one.....

 

If you add Adhesive Sheets to the back of the designer paper before you die cut them, it makes creating these 2 cards so much easier.

I finished them off with the Merriest Moments stamp set and Merriest frames dies, along with the Lights Aglow dies, and Stylish Shapes dies.
