Welcome, Little One

Have you seen the latest Stamp It! Cards magazine by Paper Crafts? This issue is loaded with inspiration and talent! This is my first time ever being published in a Paper Crafts magazine, so I was super excited to finally see the issue for the first time at the CHA Super Show. Here is one of my cards that you can find inside...
The focus of the card is this hand stitched birds nest, with button eggs nestled inside. The vine image (from Beyond Basic Borders) was stamped in vintage cream ink onto a dark chocolate cardstock strip. The nest was attached over looped spring rain twill ribbon and then mounted over a vintage cream card base.

So hurry up and purchase your issue of Stamp It! Cards magazine, you'll be glad you did!

    Hi Maile, I haven't had the chance to say, "WOW!! Congratulations!!" What a surprise (although not really!)...I knew you were getting more into the designing part of things but didn't know how serious you were until recently :) I can imagine you are on Cloud 9!! Now I can see where all your dedication was heading :) You will have to expand your studio for all the new PTI!! So exciting...and I can say, "I knew her when..." Can't wait to follow more of your fabulous creations on the PTI blog too :)
