Stamp Set of the Month Series - Field Flower

A new class I have started is called "Stamp Set of the Month" where each month I highlight one stamp set, and we make all our projects using that stamp set. The idea is to show the versatility of a stamp set. I don't always want my customers to feel as though they can't do this because they have to own a bunch of stamp sets. You don't. Although I did add an extra stamp set here and there on these cards, you don't have too.

The Accordian file folder was REALLY easy to make. And SOOOO cute. What a fabulous birthday gift to give someone, a card case full of cards. Go here to get the ingredients, measurements and link to the tutorial.

Each card was so much fun to make. This is the Wisteria card and the card that gave me the original idea of starting this type of class.

Next is the Razzleberry card.

Then what I call the Newsprint Card:

And finally my favorite, the bookmark card!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Don't be shy, leave me a message.

Playing Around with Techniques

I love learning new techniques. The card below is made using the Faux Linen technique. The sad thing is that the camera does not capture how beautiful the paper is using this technique. It really does look like linen. Stunning.
