Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop – Love is in the air
Hi, Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I'm joining in with another blog hop with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world sharing ideas relating to a monthly theme. This month the theme is "Love is in the Air" (I immediately think of the song by Australian singer John Paul Young who had a hit song with that title - do you remember it?)

My customers are always asking for "male" cards, or cards for the guys, and this bundle...

Easy Slimline cards for any occasion
Slimline cards have been very popular lately, and Stampin' Up! has made it easy to make cards in this format with the Slim Cards dies that coordinate with the Slim Sayings stamp set. Slim Sayings Card Class cards I created these cards to suit the size of the card front dies, starting with a base of 8-1/2" x 7", which were scored and folded in half to create a card front measuring 8-1/2" x 3-1/2". Slim Sayings Card Class card 1 For the first card I was inspired by a card made by Mary Fish, you...
