Using Holiday Stamps for Other Occasions
Hi readers! Happy Sunday! I’m delighted to have Yana Smakula back on the blog today as a guest! She is really getting creative with this Gifts of Love stamp set to make Birthday cards! I love the background pattern she made with the Christmas tree stamp and Duckling Ink! Genius!! The Birthday Circle die really brought the whole design together, and the perfect way to polish off a card? Some pretty Clear Droplets of course!
Don’t forget to watch the video tutorial, and enjoy!
