Thankful—Birthday Cards

Creating took a hiatus for the majority of this month when first I was gone for a week for a Retreat (where I only took yarn and needles with me, for super portable creativity,) and then I fell on ice in the mountains, thankfully just before I came home.

Check those out! And Thankfully, again so much to be Thankful for!, now 2 weeks more past, I was able to catch… Continue reading

The bonus is you’ll have a unique birthday or other greeting card, or journal insert, when you’re finished! This Embossed Pocket with Tag is like the one in the last post, that was in the Envelope Folio, but this one has a different look to it.

Tri-fold Pocket Folio
