WHAT I LOVE ❤️! I adore how the stitching from the Stitched Rectangles, Tailor Made Tags, and Stylish Shapes dies coordinate and tie this chic look together. All three die sets are a must-have in your paper craft tool collection!

In checking your tutorial we could print – the card stock colors and dimensions are not for this card. I’m sure it’s just a “glitch”
Hi Linda,
Sorry, I am not sure how the product list updated but the verbiage did not. I have corrected the tutorial and you can find the updated version here.
I know I said this in yesterday’s post, but it’s worth repeating… Your cards are so elegant and look like they would be difficult, but they’re actually really simple. I’m not a fan of fun folds, so that’s something else I like about your cards…just a typical card.
Great sketch, Mary. I love this pretty card! Enjoy your day!
Such a beauty! The combination of Blushing Bride and Basic Black is so modern and cool. So sweet!
