In the Toolbox – Father’s Day Card
Today I have a Father’s Day card to share with you. I made this for my dad who is a “Mr. Fix It” for our entire family. I used several products from Kat Scrappiness and a die from Creative Expressions to cut the tool box and tools. I cut them out of off white cardstock […]

A Perfect Christmas X Three

Put a Bow On It! Handmade Christmas Card
Today’s card was made with a non traditional color, black. I think this card has a bit of a masculine feel even with the ribbon and bow. Christmas is the only time I use ribbon on my cards anymore. I’m not sure why that is, I just realized that the day I made this card. […]
