Do you want 5 surefire tips for handmade cards the won’t forget? Plus a super adorable card that you could send to ANYONE?

Before we get to that though, here’s a question for you…

Do you ever wonder if the handmade cards you slave over, the ones you spend hours making, ever show up in your friend’s recycle bin in mere days?

Well, I guarantee they won’t be throwing them in ANY bin, except maybe their “Keepsake Treasures” when you think about using these 5 tips!

I shared each of them in my YouTube Live yesterday.

But first let’s see the card I showed you how to make in the live.

Whether your friend or family member is a taco afficionado, love heading to Mexico – or not – I predict they’ll love opening up a card like this!

(In fact I bet you smiled as soon as you saw it right?) It’s hard not to!

What’s not to like about:

• a taco with a moustache!?
• Mr. Sombrero Cactus!?
• a couple spicy peppers and trio of nacho chips?, and
• a cute “play on words” saying?

Here’s the whole set so you can see how you can spice up all kinds of fun designs!

Did you notice, I only said “stamp set”?

Yes, you’re right. Unfortunately, you won’t find any dies for this stamp set. But that’s really not the end of the world!

Take a peek at the video and get some of my best TIPS for fussy cutting the images yourself so you can pop them onto your cards just like I did.
