 Enjoy the Journey from Liz Borer

Who said all card making had to be feminine. This is a great card to give that man who loves travel combining our aviation and nautical theme stamps. Liz has used embossing powders to raise the stamps and give them a shimmer.

Thinking of you from Tracey Laughton

Our in house designer Tracey Laughton has made this beautiful easel card using our pretty Dandelion Mini Striplet Stamp. We love it! To make this easel style just use some backing foam to create a step on the base for the card to rest. You can write your message on the back of the card or use sentiments, like Tracey has done here with this flag. Browse all our sentiments here
