How to Make a Handmade Birthday Card
Now, before I go any further, I consider it my duty to bark about a little price increase that you can avoid. While doing research for this card (because the Coastal Cabana and the Balloon Bash stamp set will NOT be in the new catalog). The Balloon Bash stamp set was featured in the Occasions catalog and will NOT be returning.
But, I digress…
In the new catalog, everything will be
Nautical Father’s Day Card
Does the man in your life like boating? Fishing? Or just like nautical stuff? This just may be the perfect handmade Father’s Day card for you.
And we’re thinking that we may be using this one for …
Hello, Goodbye!
There are some stamp sets that I just hate to see go. Especially when I like the way the font looks or I can envision lots of things to do with it.
I’m really going to miss this one because the state flower of California is the California Poppy. It looks a lot like these – except for the color.
And with rubber stamping, we can change the color if we want.

We watched 20/20 last night on ABC and after watching that, we just had to make a patriotic card. With Memorial Day later this month, a military thank you card would be great.
You could give it to a veteran or perhaps …

One of a Kind Card for a Man’s Man
Do you know someone who’s a man’s man? What IS that?
Ann tells me that there are some men that can fix anything. And one of my biggest fans has a husband who can do just that.

PLUS – some of this stuff is on sale while supplies last so if you like it, get it today!
