I made tons of stamped cards and held card making parties. Funny how I got so far away from stamping and card making for years. Now, I am starting to enjoy using stamps on my layouts more. AND, I have been making some ... cards! Here are some I have posted and some I have not - but all of the cards I have made over the past few months. These first three are all made with American Crafts products: This card was made with Jenni Bowlin paper, WRMK scalloped stitched cardstock and... Read more →
