This Father’s Day Shaker Card is deceptively easy to make. The inspiration came from seeing a shaker card on Stampin’ Up!’s website and I wondered how they put their sequins into separate compartments.

The weeks seem to be flying by and we’re halfway through June already so the time has come to make a pop up Father’s Day card in time for June 20th. I looked at my stash and wondered how the Beauty of Friendship bundle could translate into making a pop up Father’s Day card. I […]

What’s a Hybrid embossing folder
What’s a Hybrid embossing folder you might ask! I totally missed it in the new Annual Catalogue on page 116.
