Stamping Fun Night April 2019


This butterfly card just looks like spring to me!  I demonstrated this card with the Gingham Gala Designer Paper.  It will only be around until the end of May!  And if you like the punch that goes with the butterfly stamp set, they are only bundled together until the end of May (10% off!).  After that you will have to purchase them separately.

Stamp Club March 2019


The card I demonstrated is made on a notecard from the Whisper White Notecards and Envelopes.  I made the dots with a sponge dauber and Granny Apple Green ink.  I fussy-cut the frog.  Then I cut a spiral and attached it to the card and the frog.  It's like he's jumping off the page with happiness!
