New Product Artwork - 3

These are our new Clear Cards. So much fun to work with . . . it's a whole new world! You can think outside the box in designing with these cards; what do you want to see on the front? What do you want to see on the inside but THROUGH the front? What do you want showing through the back? So many different perspecitves!

New Product Artwork - 2

This card features the new stamp set, "Beary Busy" and new papers, "Passages." This set features four different bear characters, four sentiments and four foliage additions. When I first saw it, I thought, "Cute . . . but so NOT me." Then, I just kept coming back to it and looking at it again until I decided I HAD to have it. :-) And I loved working with it! Our Waterbrush is a fantastic tool for coloring outline images like these. This card includes Twill Ribbon and Antique Copper Brads as embellishments. It's adorable in this 3x5 size.
