Iris Folded Christmas Cards
I first saw these cards last year, and thought they were simply wonderful! The folded paper creates such an interesting design.

Welcome Autumn Cards
Autumn is a wonderful time to send a card to someone, just to say hi or thinking of you. It doesn't need to be a birthday or special day, just a card to tell someone that you haven't seen in a while or that is having some challenges that you are thinking of them. Even …

Recently, I needed a card for a dear friend to thank her for a sweet gift, and I didn't have anything in the card box. In the past, I have stamped several cards at a time, usually keeping a couple for any occasion by not stamping the inside. But the last few times I have …
