Lyn's Crafty Cards

Star Card

Well by the temperature today, Summer is here and that means ... days until Christmas!
So I have started with a patchwork inspired card and inside stamped using the new Stamp of the Month "Twinkle". It is a versatile set and is Cricut compatible if you wish not to fussy cut with your scissors.
I have incorporated new  papers "White Pines" which coordinate beautifully using back and front and Topiary and Cranberry Cardstock.
