    Dimensional Peony + Video

    One of the unique things about the Prized Peony bundle, is the awesome dimensional peony! It's designed so well, it is SO EASY to do! This is the card that I did with my Stamp Club last weekend.  Isn't it gorgeous? I also LOVE the Dainty Diamonds 3D embossing folder done in foil cardstock! I cased this card from another awesome demonstrator!

    Part 2 of the Dimensional Peony/Slimline Club Cards.  My phone stopped recording, and then picked it right back up.  I don't know how, or if, I can even splice it back together.  So, here's part 2!!
