Foiled Christmas

I hate to throw away anything that may be of use sometime in the future (yes, I have a little bit of a hoarding problem). Sometime ago I purchased aluminum foil baking pans at the dollar store that I used to make medium sized lasagne. As we always ate the dish the same day I didn't use the silver cardboard lids that came with the pans. I kept them as I figured I'd find a crafting purposes for them at one point or another.

Well, the other day I was in the mood to make a few more Christmas cards and came across my little stash of silver cardboard. I decided to see if embossing would work. And low and behold it does work and looks great!

Here are the two cards I designed.
