Christine's Creative Nook

Hi all!  Thanks for stopping by today's post is a card I made for our grandson that just turned 15.  He works on a farm milking cows and haying plus he is raising a pig and meat chickens so I wanted to try and incorporate all these things into a card. The card was made using old Karen Burniston dies that are sold by Elizabeth Craft Designs.  The last time I looked most of these were still available but they are while supplies last.  This was a fun card to make. I am not writing a tutorial on this as Karen has great You Tube videos that are very easy to follow.  Videos can be found here . Until next time - Happy Crafting! Christine
