This Sunday, I had the pleasure of joining a lovely group of ladies for some stamping fun. They call themselves Stamp or Dye. They get together once a month, and I join them as often as I can. This month I provided the projects: wreath cards stamped using the Stamparatus. 

Here’s what they made:

Here’s Emily with her holiday card in Garden Green and Real Red. Instead of stamping each image 8 times, she stamped each one 4 times to create a clean and simple design. She used the Mistletoe Season stamp set.

Here’s Jan with her Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, and Very Vanilla birthday card. She used the Balloon Celebration stamp set.

Here’s Karen with her Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist birthday card. She used the Jar of Love stamp set.

Here’s Marian with her Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lime Twist thank you card. She used the Peaceful Reflection stamp set.

Here’s Patti with her Powder Pink and Pool Party birthday card. She used the Banners for You stamp set.

And here are Sharon, Linda, and Mary Beth with their cards. Sharon’s is Lovely Lipstick and Call Me Clover card, and she used the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set. Linda’s is Calypso Coral and Bermuda Bay. Mary Beth’s is Melon Mambo and Old Olive (she said Old Olive is her favorite color.) Linda and Mary Beth used different stamps from the A Big Thank You stamp set.

Here’s what they did:
