Between my poor health and other business work, I don't get to make as many cards these days. I miss my paper crafting! I feel like everything I do takes longer now. With Autumn so close (yay!), these leafy cards may inspire you in your own paper crafting. I love the mini wooden buttons. :) The other card features a fun heat embossing technique. My favorite is Ranger Ink gold embossing powder. Just dip your die cuts in some embossing powder and melt. I love the partially embossed look. ... View the Post

Advent Calendar 2023 Cards Papercraft Society
Okay, I'm just a year behind! :) I love Papercraft Society monthly box kits. Having said that, last year's advent calendar did not impress me. I gave it a year rest and decided to make some cards.
