Today’s card is one from our Spring Fling Event. It’s a fun way to present a gift card. Plus, it has a fun look with the twist fold! We used a couple of techniques with this card aside from the fun fold. I took 3 sponge daubers to apply the ink to create the multi-colored … Read more Summer Twist Fold Gift Card Holder

So, I guess it’s a little … Read more Happy Birthday, Abner Doubleday (Baseball-Themed Birthday Card)!
