Sometimes the simplest designs please me the most. And here is a card that you can see is a very simple design, but I am nutso over it! I love the colors ~ Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape. The Bokeh Dots stamp was one I hadn’t tried yet. Once I…
I have a very sparkly birthday present card today ~ The photo doesn’t give the glitter justice. When the light hits it, it really dazzles! I mixed new with older products to pull this card together. To begin with, I cut four 7/8″ x 5-1/4″ strips of Whisper White cardstock,…
