Welcome to my stop on the HOP everyone! I'm so very excited to show you a really fun card I made using these NEW Studio Calico Stamps! I've used 3 of the fabulous background Clings and one Clear set. I just LOVE them ALL!!!
I wanted to do something a little different to show you how versatile this stamp set is, so I created a flower from the award stamp and a banner from the ribbon. FUN!!! Here's a closer look at the banner.
And here are the new stamps I used... gahhhh so awesome!!!
If you want to jot down the numbers for your future shopping, they are:
ST501 Alphabet Pattern, ST503 Grid Pattern,
ST514 Houndstooth Pattern and ST510 You're The Best (clear set).
