    Hi from Scotland, I hope you are doing well. This is Bibi Cameron and today I’m sharing three simple card ideas using Foiled Basics Collection designed by Yana Smakula for Spellbinders. Yana is not only a very talented and skilled papercraft artist and I’m thankful for her as she introduced me to the word of glimmer!
