Okay, this blog theme is maybe a stretch. I had no idea how to link these three cards… The first two are arguably nature inspired – the first has flowers, the second a leaf. The third card is a bit of a stretch with its cartoon fox. But I really wasn’t sure what else I … More Nature Inspired Cards

I used to be a very prolific craft maker. In 2018 I made 400 cards over the course of the year. In … More You’re A Star | CAS Card Design
