Stamp Review Crew: Bonanza Buddies Edition

Hello, hello!  The Stamp Review Crew has a new blog hop ready for you!   

This session we have chosen the Bonanza Buddies set - so cute!!!  

May and June are big birthday months in our family so I am working ahead on building my birthday card collection.

I wanted the letters to really stand out so I cut eight of each letter from Burmuda Bay cardstock and stacked them together.

The Stamparatus helped to get the stamps lined up on the balloon

The little koala is so silly and fun!

Stitching On Patterned Paper Tutorial

Hello stamping friends!  I am excited to share a video tutorial that I made for Splitcoast Stampers today.   It has ideas and tips for using patterned paper as background for hand stitching.

It is based on several cards that I made last fall.  (I am looking longingly at the hydrangeas in the background of the picture... we have just a few things starting to emerge and turn green.  Really ready for some pretty flowers to perk things up!)

You can see close ups of each of the cards on the original post HERE.

I think a little bit of stitching adds  a very special touch to a card.  I hope you have a chance to try it!
