I used a new CLING JustRite Set, Sparky and Friends, patterned paper from the Yuletide Mat Pad (available individually or in KIT form), a bow in Pink Tinsel Sheer made on the Bow Easy, one Kaiser Pink Rhinestone and I sparkled up the edge of the snowflake circle with a glue pen and SU Dazzling Diamonds.
Sparky and Friends – $19.95
Cling Mount Rubber — use with any standard acrylic block
