Hi Everyone it's time for CAS Christmas Mid Month Reminder and also a reminder that it's our last challenge of the year and we would love to see you join in.
For my card I pencil coloured the cute little dog from MFT Pawlidays, and Glimmer foiled the Memory box Snowflake frame die and a JOY die from Tim Hotz/Sizzix.
After seeing Hidiko and Bonnie's beautiful foil backgrounds I invested in a Glimmer foil system myself (an early Christmas present to me 😍), I still have a lot to learn about keeping the dies straight but I must admit I love the idea of another use for my dies.

This is so cute! I love the Joy frame.
Brilliant, love the foiled look. I hadn't realised you can use ordinary dies in the glimmer foil system. It just might make me feel that I have to have one, it is an amazing look xx
What a fabulous foiled look to the background die cut Christine and I love that sweet little dog clutching his stocking. A beautiful card. x
What a sweet pup! Looks like he hopes to get someone to put treats in his stocking! Love that foiling - I just can't invest in one more thing before I start using all the other machines I've purchased for things and then haven't used! This looks so pretty though.........
I know you'll enjoy the Glimmer Foil system, Christine! As Hideko told me, tape is a great friend with foiling! It does help to keep things straight! Love the snowflake frame and your pup is adorable and beautifully colored! He looks all set for Santa with his stocking!
What a wonderful early Christmas present you received, Christine! Welcome to the club! ;-P
You did a wonderful job on giving the adorable pup a shiny snowflake window! I have never used my dies for foiling, but YOU inspired me to try it. I'm sure you'll enjoy foiling a lot!
Hideko xx
Adorable pup with the blue striped stocking! Love the foiled background for him.
Beautiful foiling for the frame and the snowflakes, Christine. What a fun way to get more use from your dies! Love that sweet pup just wanting someone to fill his stocking. :) xx
Awwwww...what an adorable little pup Christine, and a beautiful foiled frame too! I invested in a foil machine early in the Summer, and love what it adds to a card too! And yes, washi tape or any low tack tape is definitely a friend when foiling to keep everything straight and where you want it! It's been great to work alongside you for another year on the CAS team, and I hope you and your family have a very happy and blessed Christmas! Hugs. :0)
Your glimmer foiling is beautiful, Christine! I think it's the perfect way to jazz up your die and perfectly colored pup! xx
I love this adorable puppy and your card is soooo cute the way you colored him! I've never done any foiling but I think your foiled die looks awesome.
The foiling looks so pretty and what an adorable card Christine x. Always great to have an early Christmas p[resent x.
Pawsome card. This pup is so cute. The foiling looks amazing.
Fabulous early Christmas gift btw! I have the SB foiling system and need to use it more.
Love your foiling and love your card with that cute pup!
Your foiling looks lovely and that sweet puppy with his stocking is so cute. Great pencil coloring on him and the stocking.
A brilliant idea for a different use of dies. The frame looks wonderful. But what I like the most is the dog with its velor coat. Your coloring is just amazing
xx
I may need a foil system too! Wow - I totally love that framing. Such a great background for your adorable dog! Super pretty and cute card, Christine. Hugz
