How is Ellen Smallwood’s card made?
Love all the cards and great ideas. Need to make thank you cards for contractors that send me gifts for the holidays. Thanks for the help. I make cards with the Senior centers and was working on cards for them to do. However I did have chance to play with my new items from the All Occasion Catalog and I love them.
Happy New Years everyone!
What a FABULOUS bunch of stampers. Each one is a work-of-art. LOVE ‘EM ALL!
Oh yes! So far I was making gift tags utill the last minute on the 24th!
Any chance you could help us out on how to make the step style holiday card by Ellen Smallwood? All the cards are wonderful. Thanks.
