Create these fabulous cards using the free Moonstone Die from Crafting with Hunkydory Issue 63!
Adding greenery to our homes is said to make us feel at ease and the winter months are the perfect time to add houseplants, with the cold dark nights and shorter days meaning that we don’t get out in the garden. But even those who don’t have green fingers can enjoy the Grow a Little Happiness Free Gifts! These are certainly hard to kill but so easy to use to create wonderful cards for all.
