The pattern paper is ONE SHEET! I bought a pattern paper pack, and the front sheet that shows you all the patterns inside... well this is it!
Added twine, and done!

Card Cupid Celebration

After two years of hard work, we are thrilled to announce that Card Cupids has been granted tax exempt non-profit status!! We are so excited because this means that we will be able to support even more children in need. We could not have done this without you. So of course, we decided that we needed to celebrate and what is a celebration without prizes.

Our celebration will be on Saturday, October 6- Sunday, October 7. To participate in our celebration, post the below blog button on your site and then come back on Oct 6 or Oct 7 to post a card for our challenge. Hint: the theme is related to our mission. We will be giving away, not one, not two…but FOUR prizes and all you have to do to qualify is add our blog button and post a card for our challenge.

Please follow the Card Cupid blog for more details.

Rubber to Digi

I have been doing digi stamps for several yeas now. It seems I now do more digi than rubber. So if you visit here for inspiration and don't see anything new, please check my digi blog.
Some companies offer both digi and rubber/clear stamps, such as Teddy Bo.
