Merry Medley

Today's card uses the Merry Medley background stamp.
What an amazing stamp this is.  It looks great as a
background image like today's card but it can also
be cut apart into small greeting stamps. 
I ordered two of these stamps — one I left
whole for cards like this and the other I
cut into I believe 10 individual stamps.
I love this!!!
Today's card was inspired by fellow demo
Kelly Atcheson — I loved her design and just
had to give it a try.
I love the Silver Foil tag that was cut out
using the Merry Tags framelit.

Spooky Fun

Lots of layers but a quick & easy card to make.
I love this fold/layout.  All you do is add a bit of
designer paper (I used Halloween Night).
Just a tiny bit of stamping with the
Spooky Fun stamp set.
Hurry — pull out your paper and whip up a few
of these so you are ready to pop them in the mail.
I know — you don't mail Halloween cards.
Why not surprise people with a little gift of you.
I love get ANY hand stamped cards in the mail.
Give a try and see the response you get from
family and friends.
