Stampin' With Michelle Pepper

This "fancy fold" card comes together in no time at all with the Circle Card Thinlits! The sad thing is that these Thinlits dies (the set comes with a few dies) will also be retiring on 31st May. But the GREAT news is that...

And then there are challenges online and in craft online groups to inspire you too. Such as the ColorQ challenge : So with just a few minor changes, I have made the card on page 102 of the Annual Catalogue my own. Even at some crazy hour in the morning where no shops are opened for you to rush out to purchase a card because you know your boy is totally expecting it when he wakes up as a brand new six year old boy :-) Now just a quick reminder, you can join Stampin' Up! anytime, and June is especially a good time to join. Not only do you get $285 worth of SU! products of your c...
