This week's episode is a blast from the past. I did not want to skip this die set because it has so much to offer in an over the top shaker card. For how complicated this looks when finished, it is actually very easy to make. All of my cards in the showcase use Brightly Gleaming and First Frost DSP.

World Cardmaking day was a busy day for me. I went through my "almost finished" pile and completely prepped and packaged about 60 cards that were in various stages of completion.
