Eclectic Expressions Birthday Card

I used them for today’s birthday card made with Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper and the Eclectic Expressions stamp set. This stamp set is FREE with a $50 order, but only through March 31!

You’re Awesome Guitar

Want to tell a music fan they’re awesome? The Epic Celebrations stamp set is just what you need. This terrific set is FREE with a $50 order, but only until March 31, 2018! Brusho Crystal Colour provided the psychedelic tie-dyed effect in the background. Guitars are made of wood, right? Well, most of them anyway. So this guitar was stamped onto a piece of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper, then fussy cut with Paper Snips. I hope you think it’s groovy, man.
