Winter Cardinal Card in a Box

Hi Y'all!
Robyn here, saying, please,
Don't rush me, I'm waiting for the last minute !
This winter wonderland card in a box is stunning, just as it comes off the mat.
All I added was some glossy accents on the cardinal
and Rock Candy Glitter on the side snow flakes
and a stamped sentiment on the back.
If you are organized, this could be ready to go in the mail in half an hour
a bit more if you add the gloss and glitter!
On the Mat

and it folds flat for mailing!

Room on the back for a sentiment and personal message.
Stamp before you glue it up!

Looks good from any angle!

Supplies:
May the season , bring you peace, grace, and a few craft supplies might be nice too!

Lotus Summer Decor Lantern/ Birthday Card

Hi Y'all!
Robyn here grateful for the immediacy and flexibility of digital design and cutting.
A long time mentor, living in Hawaii is having an 80th birthday, and friends there are arranging a scrapbook for cards, remembrances, memorabilia, etc.
Lotus popped into my mind, and a quick search of Suzanne's 1000's of files did not disappoint.

On the Mat

Ungroup, crop out one lotus panel, or you can cut the entire piece and save the others for another card and stenciling!
