I do hope you are enjoying my play times with friends? Today my virtual craft day is being played across the pond with a fabulous card maker: Keren Baker at KerenBaker'sBlog! Do please go have an hour of browsing - you will not be disappointed! When I announced my Playing Cards with Friends feature on Instagram, I was thrilled when she said YES!
Keren has such a way with card designs that go 'off the edge' using clear acetate - it might be the thing that made me fall in love with her unique style years ago. I have used that trick many times my friend - so thank you!
Here are the parameters I chose for Keren and I today:
Altenew
Bold Caps dies + National Let’s Laugh
Day!
I have just the set for that - hope it tickles her fancy!
Colorado Craft Company's Wishing Happiness stamps, and dies tickled mine!
Don't think for a moment those alphas went to waste...
Don't you love the embossed dots?? Park Lane @ JoAnn's!
and I did add a little laugh of my own inside:
Hope you'll join me as I jump that pond again to take a looky loo at Keren's card! I'm so sure we'll get a smile - it happens every time for me!
