Fancy Easel card with Forever Blossoms

I’m thrilled to be able to share this Fancy Easel card with Forever Blossoms. Although I’d used the stamps and one of the dies, I neglected using the bendy branch die. It was perfect for using with an open book easel card. This type of Open book easel card harks back to circa 2014 when […]

Fun Fold card with What’s Cookin’

Today I’m sharing a fun fold card with What’s Cookin’. It’s a dutch door card, so the top half of the card has been cut off. In our very first home, we had a galley kitchen which had a “stable door” at the end. We used to call it a “stable door” because the door […]
