Card File Holders

We made these great Card File Holders at our meeting last month.  They are the perfect size to hold cards!  Check out the tutorial on Blythe’s blog.  We used the Bella Rose DSP with Riding Hood Red and Pink Pirouette Textured Cardstocks and the small and large oval punches to create the labels.  I hope…
