Do you think every handmade card needs to use a stamp? I’d say no. In fact, there are some fabulous cards that don’t include a single stamped image.
Today’s tutorial features the Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper. The colors and images are cheerful and easy to cut out, creating the perfect focal point on any card, gift bag or scrapbook layout.
I’ve included written instructions below for those of you using a mobile device. I also have a free PDF tutorial available for those that would like to download and save this project for a later day.
