Altered cards from one card
The card I altered is the bottom Petal Pink “Thinking of You” design. I cut the card in half then trimmed it to fit a standard card base used in UK/Ireland/Europe so that I could make 2 cards out of one kit card. You’ll also need extra envelops. I stamped the envelop on the front with the smallest Snapdragon to coordinate with the card.
