Through Your Door

 Hello! 

I don't usually make a lot of St. Patrick's Day cards, but these stamps were just so amazing.  My favorite stamp in this release is the shamrock background.  I have another card I made with it. I'll share it later this month.  I played around and made a surprise flap card.  I love that it could hide a secret message.  Check out the video to see this card in action. 

I made a few versions of this card.  I'd love to know which is your favorite.

Foiling is a huge trend in stamping. I love the look but I wasn't excited about purchasing a bunch more dies. I found WoW bonding powder. I thought it would be awesome to try. The powder is really fine. Finer than most embossing powder. Check out the results in this video. Look out world... I can foil any of my stamps!
