Showing those around you how much you care about them is very important in our family. We make all our cards for everyone as I find it so much more personal putting love into every card.
I thought I would share a few quick cards. These cards I showed the ladies at our crops we hold here in Adelaide how to make and they loved them. They suit any occasion at all and can be made up using any of the amazing paper ranges on the market by the Fiskars family especially. Enjoy !
