It has been awhile since my last post but I've finally sat myself down & made a "Suspension Card".  I've seen these around for sometime now, and always thought they looked too hard, but how wrong I've been all this time.  Again, no instructions, just took it from a couple of samples in a book & put them altogether.

I want to highlight the use of the great "Wheels" Stampin' Up!® have!

Gift Card...

G'day Stampers,

I've just made a couple of small gift cards which I like to attach to the orders of my customers.  These cards differ each time & only make a limited number, so that not all of them may receive the same cards but not necessarily the same time.
