{Spotlight Project} Monika Makes A Skinny Card


Hello STAMPlorations Friends! Today I'm taking you through the process of how I made a one-layer skinny card with matching envelope. I don't know about you, but I like skinny cards yet don't make them often enough.

I like their elegant look, and the new Positive Vibes stamp club set is perfect for this particular card format.


December TAGplorations Challenge - All About Christmas

Hello, STAMPlorations Friends! Welcome to our December TAGplorations challenge. Thanks for all your wonderful entries last month. We love every single tag you linked up. We will reveal the design team's top favourites in our winner's post on December 10, so don't forget to check in to see if you are one of the winners!

Our theme for December is All About Christmas. As always, we also have an optional twist which this time is glitter. Don't you just love it? It's the time of the year where you can't have enough of the sparkling stuff.
