Two for Thursday: Merry Cafe Love Cards
December 28, 2017
It's Two For Thursday - it's a thing (ha!). I have two Valentine's Day cards to share using the soon-to-be-retiring Merry Cafe stamp set . One card is done with traditional Valentine's Day colors and the other is done with the Coffee Break Suite of products.
Whether for Halloween, the holiday season, cheering up a friend or Valentine's Day, the Merry Cafe set has it all! And even better...it coordinates with the popular Coffee Cups Framelits Dies!
