Hanukkah Joy

Designer: Deb Perry

I love muti-tasking tools and Fiskars New Tool Taxi fits the bill. I used the craft knife extension to trim my paper, the rub-on stylus to apply the candle flames, the glue and applicator to adhere my shapes and as an embossing agent to adhere the snowflake glitter.  You’ve gotta love a tool that will do all that!
