A Demo Make & Take

At My Artfully Sent Demo 
With an elbow to elbow group I had an Artfully Sent Demonstration last Saturday.
I demonstrated an envelope with liner and each type of card that can be made using 
the Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge. At the end each person got to make this border
card with a pocket card enhancement. I will post my demonstration cards this week.
