Whew!!! We’re done… 12 cards and a gift-able bag.. wasn’t this fun!! I’d love to facilitate this class for you and your friends! Email me (tabs at the top of the page) to get more information and details!
Don’t you just love this technique?? My friend and fellow demo Susan Best showed this to me at our downline team meeting last month… WOW.. it was really fun. Of course, I had read about this technique before, but honestly never gave it a second thought. It’s so much fun to go to the downline meetings and see/learn new techniques and tips.. we meet at the Golden Corral Restaurant on Beach Boulevard monthly. Working together as a TEAM, we expand our stamping knowledge and help each other grow a stampin’ up business which works for you! Check out my calendar/events for the next meeting at
