Yes, I got a little carried away using the Aspen Tree die set and made over 14 Spring cards in 2 days. Obsessive? Probably, but I love my Aspen Tree dies. Plus I have so many beautiful DSP designs that work beautifully with this die set. So I’m sharing these spring cards now before heading […]

Thankfully it’s a new year with many vaccines becoming available to all of us. Another good thing is that every year in January Stampin’ Up! issues in the new spring and Sale-a-Bration […]
