Gift Idea

This was such a fun gift to make for a teacher, and can really be made to fit the recipient's desk/office space. I used the coaster board as the base, and just filled it with perforated pages of blank notes that were stamped using Wetlands and Papaya Collage.

January Paper Pumpkin

Anyone who knows me well, knows that I usually don't follow instructions when it comes to stamping...teachers make bad students (LOL) That's the nice thing about Paper Pumpkin...you are given samples to follow to create your projects, but have the freedom to make things your own. Here are the cards I made using my January kit from Paper Pumpkin.

Elegance in B&W

Generally speaking, you can never go wrong with Black and white as a color scheme for elegance...even when it comes to cards. I love how this card turned out. I think this would be a beautiful wedding card using the MR. & MRS. stamp in the annual catalog (item 132575 page 38).

Card stock: Whisper White, Basic Black
Ink Pads: Basic Black (Craft)
Stamps: Million & One, Papaya Collage
Markers: Gumball Green, Strawberry Slush
