Today I’m sharing another card I made with the Enjoy the Moment stamp set, which will be in the January – June 2021 Mini Catalog. You can see the first one I made here. For today’s card I also used the Banners Pick a Punch and Gold Glitter Enamel Dots.
The image stamp I used is of a winged seed produced by maple trees, called a samara. They are commonly referred to as whirlers, twisters, whirligigs, or helicopters.

Nov 2, 2020 | Cards, Gallery, Origami, Techniques |
I made this Origami flower card using the Tasteful Touches stamp set, Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder, Tulip Builder Punch, and Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper. Last week I hosted another Mystery Stamping Party on Facebook, and this is was my example. I enjoy these parties. I post clues that folks follow to create the mystery project, then everyone posts a photo of their project. It’s wonderful to see all the creative ways people interpret the clues. You can go ahead and join the Facebook group now to see what we do. Then you can participate in the next party on Wednesday, December 2 at 8:00 PM (ET.)
