Any force results in the pin breaking in the lid. It’s a shame as they seemed a good solution but only a… Continue reading Fine Tips for Glue

I'm really loving typographic cards at the moment, with text as the main focal point. For these cards, I used the MFT label… Continue reading Ombré Label Sentiments

I wanted to create a layered card but keep the dimension to a minimum, so it's easy to mail. I've used circles to create scenes within layers.
