I'm sharing a couple of my projects here today with a third project tomorrow.
I do love this H C beautiful little basket die. When I first saw it I thought about a needle case I had some years ago. It was a little more fan shaped but still .......couldn't get it out of my mind. I set about making my little sewing caddy which I thought perfect to slip in with a card for my sewing friends.
My second project is a fancy fold card called a swinging Z fold which was a fun card to make.
