NORTH POLE DELIVERY DSP

Hey there ! I don't have the matching stamps or dies for this DSP but it was such fun to create two easy fun folds for my You Tube Live ! 

I created a Z fold as well as a hide way card & these card folds were also used for my fun fold class . We used the Christmas Tags & More DSP for my fun fold class & my lovely ladies created 8 different fun folds in one afternoon ! It was so easy using the DSP & gold & white ephemera pack. The DSP includes ephemera as well so it made for a very quick class & everyone enjoyed making the cards as well as my home made Bischoff slice & hedgehog slice ! They went down very nicely with a favourite beverage .
