I used it all to make a super easy fun fold that could be for…a birthday!? A promotion?! Anniversary? Well – you decide. Take a look-see:

Today’s card is a sympathy or encouragement card – and it spotlights the new Frosted Pinecones stamp set – with its wonderful masks! I pulled sentiments from the new Thinking of You stamp set – and put it all on Wood Grain Wonders DSP! Take a look-see:
