I had so much fun making this card for the Wood, Cork, and Metal Challenge on the Newton’s Nook Designs Blog, that I decided to make another one focusing on just the wood theme this time. The basket of flowers (from the “Baskets of Wishes” set) was stamped in Toffee Crunch Memento Luxe ink and […]
Purr-fect Birthday Card

And since die cut inlaying is so popular right now, I thought it’d be fun to stain my wood bits and adhere them back into my panel for a slightly vintage-y look. Start by cutting the floral design […]
