A Tip from Barb
This is actually a fairly simple card to put together. It was classified as a Worker Bee card due to the use of the Deckled Rectangled dies, but if you don’t have a Cut & Emboss Machine or these dies, you can simple cut your Basic White cardstock to 1″ x 2″ for the sentiment and 2-1/4″ x 3-1/2″ for the focal image.
