Hope to see you Thursday for my take on the theater style card. See you then!
Love the speckled technique!!
I’m thinking the collar fold would be super fun for a silly bow tie shaker card. Cut two triangles for the shakers and cover the middle part with a round spot of colorful paper or a sticker. Kid birthday theme??
PS – thanks for all the great tips!!
Wow! These cards are gorgeous!
Thanks for all the tips Connie.

I made the shell card with colors on hand and it is gorgeous! I have just the friend to send it to tomorrow! I’m SO glad I ordered new embossing powder. It made ALL the difference. Thank you for a great tutorial. I’ll try the other one tomorrow.
Thank you dear Connie for your time talent and creativity! Can you show how to make a pansy? Bless you, Grace in vt
