The swap theme for our January Sunday Stamp Club was “our favorite stamping technique.” I have so many favorites, and I couldn’t come up with just one. So, I made a different swap card for each member using one of my 10 favorite techniques.
For all of the cards, I used the Hugs die-cut Sending Love Note cards and the coordinating Glassine Rectangle Envelopes found on page 19 of the Occasions Mini Catalog. You can decorate and add a greeting to the scalloped edged “Hug” note card and put it in a glassine envelope as is or add it to the inside of a folded card like I did with my swaps, measuring 3 3/4 x 4 1/2 and scored at 2 1/8. These make sending little love notes to your favorite Valentine so simple!
So, without further delay, and as Tom Bergeron of Dancing with the Stars would say, “In no particular order”, here are the first 3 of my favorite top ten stamping techniques.
