Hi Dawn, All of the cards are great! I have two favorites: the Merry Christmas card is so elegant and the papers are stunning, and the Valentine wins for cuteness! Wishing you, Richard, and your entire family a Merry Christmas and Blessed Christmas!
This is such a fun and creative craft idea. It looks easy to make and can be used for many occasions, just by changing the paper and stamps. It’s a great creative activity for kids and a lovely break for someone like me who spends a lot of time as a nanny in Dubai, caring for little ones. Thanks for sharing this idea.
