Note: Each card in the tote uses the same basic design, but uses different colors and sentiments. For my sample
I did two cards in each of the following colors: Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo and Wild Wasabi. I also
chose various sentiments from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. The supply list includes the supplies I used
for my samples.
