Wish Big...

I have a MANLY for you today. Very basic and another under 5 minute card for you to try. I used the BRING ON THE CAKE stamp set, HOWLSTOOTH & SCARINGBONE DSP, 1/2" STRIPED SATIN RIBBON, and some BLACK GLITTER BRADS.

HAVE A GREAT DAY & MAKE SURE TO TAKE TIME TO CREATE :-)

Punch Fun Idea...

I am SO glad I got this set...BRING ON THE CAKE. It's in our Occasions Mini Catalog and I can't believe how many times I've used it already! It's got the perfect saying/greeting for any age birthday. It was fun to highlight the "3" with color and glitter to make it pop a little more and celebrate this great age for a friends daughter's big day!
