Designer: Deb Perry
Everyone loves to get photos of the kids…especially when they are decorated in the bright, happy colors of Summer! Instead of making the typical 5x7 folded card, I used Fiskars cool new Softouch-Micro-Tip Scissors to cut out a unique flower flap. This pair of scissors is spring loaded and is half the work of regular scissors. Li’l Davis Castaway Papers and Embellishment line added just the touch of Summer I was looking for. So beat the heat, stay inside and get crafting! You’re sure to make those relatives smile!
