The kit contains enough supplies to make 30 tags and I love the tag layers, the bright traditional Christmas coloured pop out elements […]

As Christmas approaches ever closer, my thoughts turned to gift cards and gift wallets. Add a personal touch. Enter the Snowflake Wishes bundle. The set of coordinating dies were perfect for this project. It cuts out this beautiful window. I used one of the medium clear envelopes to create a flat shaker pouch filled with […]
