Tonight was stamp camp, a monthly get together of gals– some of whom I have been stampin’ with for years! We make two greeting cards each month with some techniques thrown in. Sometimes the tips and techniques are ones we’ve done before with a new twist, other times I find something I don’t know how to do and then I can teach them. Guess once a teacher, always a teacher–and this is so much fun!

     The first card I made I used the Modern Medley DSP (designer series paper) that I’d bought awhile back and never used. And I’d recently purchased the Lattice Bigz die and wanted to add that. It was one of those things I kept adding to my wish list and finally got!

     This is a birthday card, but again I think it could be used for different occasions.
