Slimline cards have been around for a little while, but lately they are all the rage with cardmakers. I love the extra space I get to fill on cards this size (usually about 8.5″ x 3.5″; fits in a business-sized envelope)…so if you struggle sometimes with fitting everything on an A2-sized card base, these might […]

Today I’m sharing a cute way to catch up with a friend by mixing a couple of different Rubbernecker stamp sets. I love the quirky style of these fish and cat images, and thought that this fun sentiment was the perfect way to bring them together on a card. COLORING THE CAT GROUP Stamp the […]
