Summer Blooms Thank You Card

Did you check out the Amuse Studio blog for inspiration using the July products?  I was pleased to have a Guest Design Spot for this release.  This was a throwback to a card we created at a Conference a few years ago.  The woodgrain makes a nice background for the flowers and leaves.

Be Wild

A fun technique mixing glitter with flocking.  Linda made this masculine card with the Be Wild and the Redwood Background stamps.  So fun!  

More Go Hog Wild

The Go Hog Wild set has three different animals - each one cuter than the next!  The cow, sheep and pig are fun to use together or separately.
