Cuckoo for You – Smooth Sailing dies

Well, hello Cuckoo for you! If you love interactive cards as much as I do, then this “push/pull” card is bound to tickle your fancy!  I had cased the catalogue and used the wood grain Dynamic embossing folder, so imagine my horror when I realised that it had been retired!     I  substituted it with […]
