I'm back!!

Hey there!! Happy Spring to you all!! I have a couple cards to share with you today.... these were made at a recent Stamp-a-Stack. Hope you like them!! The first card is hard to tell from the photo, but the bird image punched out with the square punches has a cracked glass finish. Click here to see how this technique is done...it looks so neat IRL!! This was a CASE from a card I spotted on SCS. We made 4 each of the 3 designs. The candle shown was the gift for the hostess. Please let me know if you have any questions!!

Let me know if you have any questions on what is retiring...and stay tuned for samples with the exciting NEW colors and accessories from the next catalog!!!
Happy Stampin'
