JoAnne said, "Using Anna's dies & paper, I turned this 'card' face into a 'magnet' by putting a magnetic adhesive strip on the back!"

Carol said, "I just finished and mailed the cards celebrating 250 years last week... Thank you again for reaching out. The personal touch makes us feel special. Good luck with CREATE this year and all the hard work you put in to make the live events and videos for us to use so we too can make beautiful cards and projects."

Kim said, "Managed to get a few 4th of July cards created to send out to celebrate our country's 250th! I love this new die!"

Anna said, "Happy 4th of July to y'all. Thanks so much for all the hard work on the Mystery Boxes...they are wonderful."

Kimberley said, "I had so much fun making this card! It will serve double-duty as a belated birthday and 4th of July card for one of my fave baristas! Turned out swell, don't you think?"
