There's no better way to get fresh ideas with a new stamp set than with my Studio Stamps in the Mail (SSITM). Each month I include a new stamp set or Bundle along with pre-cut supplies to make 8 cards. Accessories, envelopes, a video and PDF tutorial are all included making it easy for you to stamp right along with me from home. You don't have to be an experienced stamper either. My step-by-step video and written tutorials walk you right through the process.
Today's project uses the Coffee Cafe stamp set which was part of my July edition of SSITM. And, although this edition of SSITM has passed, I have the PDF tutorial available in my library HERE.
The next round of SSITM starts August 13th!
I've been experimenting with direction lately. I've stamped images upside down and sideways and as odd as it sounds, I've been excited by the results! Today's "Hi Friend" card is easy to create and uses only one ink pad!

Lisa, watched this morning’s video while I had my first cup of coffee–how appropriate!
I really like the fact that the layers on this card front go top to bottom, it’s a nice change from having a “picture frame” border all the way around. Love the simplicity of this card yet there’s so much visual interest. The gold thread is a nice touch, but I think the card looks just as interesting without it.
Have a great day!
Hi Cindy Jo! Don’t you love great timing! 😀 So glad you like the card. Thanks for stopping by.
