Questions and Comments
We'd love to get your feedback or questions. Leave your comment below.
Could you demo the star and/or the heart cards? I have wasted more paper than I care to admit trying to figure it out.
Is there a guideline you can give us on how many inches of ribbon it takes to make a perfect bow, with short tails (for example, with different widths of ribbon)?
Thanks so much,
