Mini Celebrations

I made this simple mini set of cards using a fun Hampton Art stamp set.

The set has 6 different postage stamp shaped images to celebrate most any occasion.

I used the Paisley Embossing Folder (Provo Craft) to emboss 6 different colors of cardstock and stamped my images on coordinating designer paper.

My husband used part of his Christmas bonus to surprise me with a subscription to Cardmaking & Papercraft - the UK's No. 1 cardmaking magazine.

I'll be listing a set of these in the Etsy shop sometime today!
