You Don't Always Have to Stamp!

Sometimes, the designer paper can speak for itself, as shown on the card below.  The only thing that was stamped was the little greeting.  Embossing the background adds some interest, too.

Now go drag out that pretty patterned paper you've been hoarding and see if there isn't a lovely design waiting to be highlighted on your next card!

Here's a quick and easy card using the (now retired) Fast & Fabulous stamp set. It's 2-Step stamping, but the Clear Mount stamps make it so easy to line up, my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig rarely gets any love these days.  Lots of items from the new IB&C used on this card!
