~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I really like the images on this stamp set, but wasn’t sure how to use them at first. J
So, off to my Handy-Dandy Wishes How-To book to decide on a pattern!
I looked at the “Medallion” pattern in the 5x7 section & decided to to go with that to give myself a bit more room in creating with this larger stamped image.
Take a peek at my card I created…
As I thought of Family - I think of Heritage…and therefore brought in the neutral colors with a touch of color.
I used TWO different paper packs - Snowhaven & Yuletide,both winter/Christmas paper packs, for the designer papers.
I also wanted to add dimension to the card, so I used the hearts as accents &
popped them up with our fabulous 3D Foam tape - now available in 2 different thicknesses!

Here is a close up shot…
I really enjoy our NEW embossing folders, and because our folders are the 5x7 size - it was PERFECT to add to the bottom of the card!!
The embossed honeycomb shape was a perfect compliment for this piece.I inked the edges in Champagne ink…just to give it a touch of color.
In the new Idea Book (Annual Inspirations) you will see that we have added another 4 designs to our 5x7 embossing folder collection!!
I hope this has inspired you & allows you to see ANOTHER way this EXCLUSIVE stamp set can be used!! J
