Stamping the butterflies strategically on the edge of the card front means that you can cut […]

Two cards for you today – birthday cards for twins, but I couldn’t make them both the same as they each have their own personalities and different tastes! Only trouble is I can’t remember who got which card! This one had a more vintage look – used En Francais(page 129) as the background stamped in Sahara Sand. […]
