It's back to my old style of card-making - some simple stamping and heat embossing, some dp, a sentiment label attached with ribbon. I added a bit of Stardust gel pen on the Christmas star. Because I sell Christmas cards at my fundraiser, it's good to have a variety of styles!
A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".
