Hi Karen!!! Where can I find all the cards you've made using Sending Love stamptv kit?? You nailed out a written with pictures tutorial that was all stamped butterflies in Kraft colored paper?? The card had several paneled layers. It used ginak dsp as well. Can you please send me a link to all your tutorials ( written picture demos) I get them in my email but this particular card was one I really wanted to make but didn't have my kit yet. Anyhow please email me at vrohm@shaw.ca. Thank-you!! Veronica ( Rohm) Canada
