I love the sailboat in the “Swirly Bird” stamp set, and I am especially loving it in nautical red and blue combinations with our new In Color, Dapper Denim. The embossing folder I used is also new. It is called Seaside. The greeting is from “Thoughtful Banners”, punched with another … Continue reading
I CASEd this fun fold shirt from Carolyn Bennie to make with my clubs in May. It makes a great Father’s Day card, or any occasion “guy card”. I love it because it is summery and different. Our retired Botanical designer series paper was perfect to create a Hawaiian look, … Continue reading

It is heat embossed with white embossing … Continue reading
