Celebrating World Cardmaking Day
Today, October 1, is World Cardmaking Day. I initially thought this was an initiative started by Stampin’ Up!, but it’s not. However, the company, as well as many demonstrators and customers love to celebrate it by making a card on this day. A Google search of ‘world cardmaking day’ brought me to this interesting site….

Stamp Set for the Month of August
I wasn’t going to get it! But then, upon browsing Pinterest, I was pleasantly surprised by the number of cards that have been made for different occasions. What am I talking about? Thoughtful Branches, item #144328. It’s available as a bundle for $66.50 which seems expensive but you get 23 stamps and 9 dies in…
