Continue readingDuring a recent class one of my ladies showed me a picture of a quilt block card on her phone and requested we could do one. I used a recent You Tube live to work thru some ideas, creating a card featuring the Log Cabin quilt block…………… oh and there is a video 🙂

Continue readingNow we are in June my thoughts are turning to cards to celebrate July 4th ~ Independance Day here in the US. I have taken a slightly different approach for today’s card using some slightly muted Red, White and Blue and using the Elegant Border Dies to create the ‘stripes’. I think this would make a great graduation card ~ simply swap out the red and blue for the school colors!

So today I share, happy, bright Poppies
