I love how this card turned out! The bright color combo of Crushed Curry and Real Red is so eye-catching and festive! I used the Delightful Decorations stamp set, several punches, and…my Top Notz Die with my Big Shot! There are a couple of different ways to use the Top Notz Die for a different look. I’ll try to get them shown to you eventually! Meanwhile…I have a little photo tutorial (below) for you so you can get busy using your Top Note Die for this cool look!

Isn’t that super easy!!! It’s two steps…but oh so worth it!
