Love this idea. i will be making some for gifts. Thanks
I just know your recipients will love these handmade gifts from you!
I love your website and enjoy watching your videos and techniques.
I have been stamping for 18 years and love making cards and gifts.
Today, when you put the 4 cards into the box to use as gifts, I noticed that you put the envelope flap over the card. I was taught that that could cause a problem if there was exposure to any moisture, or simply putting it in the drawer and not using for awhile.
The glue from the envelope could adhere to the card front and create an issue! Thank you for having an easy format of stamping. If I need to make quick cards, that look great, I use your ideas.
I’m so glad you enjoyed these cards Holly!
WOW! I may even be able to this!

After a stroke a year and half ago, I finally got back into my craft room to make cards again. I didn’t try until I watched many of your videos of quick and easy cards. I can’t express how much you online helping me. The wanting to make cards was still there there, but I couldn’t. Afraid..perhaps. I kept my room nice and tidy clean. But, could not sit to create. Thanks for giving me just the nudge I needed. It worked.
Your story melts my heart! I’m glad you are doing better and I’m so glad my videos inspired you to get back in your craft room and make cards. Enjoy creating Connie. Sending my best wishes for even more healing to you!
Love these cards. You are so clever. Thank you so much for sharing you lovely ideas.
Thank you Evonne, So happy you like the cards.
