Merry Medley meets Paisleys

For today’s card I used the Merry Medley stamp set.
I bought two of the Merry Medley stamp set — one I use
as is but the other one — look out.
I cut it all apart so I had individual words and
phrases.  This gives you LOTS of stamps for your money.

Merry Mice – Seasonal Masks

Last night I held my final Christmas
Stamp-a-Stack Class.
This month we focused on the
Seasonal Masks and the Sponge Brayers.
What a great time everyone had.
They really enjoyed learning
"kind of a technique".

With the Seasonal Masks we made our
own background cardstock.

The first card used the dotted mask.
We used the Sponge Brayer to add
Real Red ink to Real Red Cardstock.
