It’s Someone’s Birthday Somewhere….
Happy FRIDAY!!! I was getting low on birthday card so decided to use some Catherine Pooler stamps, dies and inks to create a couple cards. Thanks for stopping by!
Less is More
I had an art professor that frequently said, “less is more”. That is what I was thinking about with today’s card. The die was part of Club Sursee kit from Catherine Pooler. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp and the card panel is embossed with an old Swiss dot embossing folder. This is a …
