  27. Darlene Desario says:

    The see-through envelope is an amazing look, I had never seen that before, will be doing that soon. I also had never heard of a 4bar card, I have only been crafting for 2 years and its a slow learning process because there is so much to learn and experience. You all are amazing crafters and I am thankful for all you teach me and all the inspiration you provide. Thank you

  28. Scraporcraft says:

    I like the idea to make the peek-a-boo envelopes. I got lost though when you stuck back the die cut parts to the vellum around six minutes. Was that an idea to use the cutout to make a mix and match look?
