  • Oriental Place Cards

    Oops,  I thought that I had scheduled this post to be published.  Here are a couple of place cards that I made for a couple of Birthday Dinners for my Mom.  She loves anything with an Asian Flair.  This was the first one that I made. This was an attempt to make a Takeout box. …

  • Another Place Card

    Here is another place card that I did.  Again I used the Faux Metal Technique.  This one was simple compared to the last one. I used a set called Wanted that is from Stampin Up's Archives.  You can still get the Two Tags Die cut that I used.  Here is another fun place card. I…

  • Busted
