Zany Zoo Bundle
Zany Zoo Bundle. This bundle is being retired and unfortunately there is no discount on this bundle. I kept meaning to re-visit this set, but never got round to it so only managed to make one card for a blog hop. Angled overlapping gatefold If you’d like more information on how I made this card, […]
Card Medley of Hot Air Balloons
Card Medley of Hot Air Balloons. The Hot Air Balloons stamps and dies are carrying over to the new Annual Catalogue so I pushed it aside to play with in May. I forgot that the gorgeous Lighter Than Air 6″x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Papers which coordinate with this stamp set retires […]
