OK…really!  Are you sick of seeing cards made with this Delicate Baubles Die yet?  I think I need a 12 step program to back away from creating more characters!  But…really…how could I NOT make a GRINCH, then decided he needed his sidekick, Max!

You can see my GNOME, SANTA, GINGERBREAD, ELF, PENGUIN, SNOWMAN, WITCH, MICKEY MOUSE, DRACULA and RUDOLPH by clicking on those links!

Stampin’ Details for base of both cards:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Granny Apple Green cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
