Today features a cardmaking first for me: a 3D card project! And it’s all thanks to a cleverly designed die set!
It’s Day 1 of the Rainbows blog hop for Simon Says Stamp and this 3D Card Die set is just too freaking cool! Never thought I’d make a pop up card, but then again, never thought I’d be a card maker.
So glad I am!
Here is my video showing you how to use the new 3D Card Die set:

Oh my! The “Sassy Insides” speak directly to my sassy insides! So great!

I LOVE these sentiments Cathy! Especially the display one. I have a friend who actually told she didn’t get making cards, it took too much time and too much money for no return. But I sent her a home made card anyway and guess what! She liked it! She said it was totally worth it and she wants another one! That “snarky” sentiment is going on every single card I send her now! 🙂
