Friends Are Like Seashells embody our treasures

I have thoroughly loved using Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set and die set! It is so beautiful and makes me think of searching for treasures - seashells - in the sand by the water or just taking a calm walk on in the sand by the water. This is one of my favorite spreads this month.

Beautiful cards from my team!

You too can join my team and meet with us every other month. When we meet, some like to swap cards. In other words, you make 15 of your card and you’ll go home with 14 other cards that are different. This is a great way to see new ideas! Of course there are a lot of other perks for joining too, like a discount.

The first card is another winner of a chick card!!!! This is from Judy P.

A fun fold from Linda M. See the little triangle at the bottom right to tuck the card front in? Cute!

And an absolutely beautiful use of a fun fold on the front of the card creating a window for the butterfly from #155821 Butterfly Brilliance Bundle by JoAnn F.
