June Stamping Newsletter

My June Stamping Newsletter has been posted. You can view it HERE or by clicking on the Newsletter link on the right side bar. The newsletter includes my 2012 catalog favorites, news on my Ribbon Bundle Share, the Be Inspired page, and more.

This month I needed "thank you" cards and tags, so I turned to My Digital Studio. I designed a basic tag and was able to paste and print eight tags to an 8-1/2x11 sheet of cardstock. I used the unaltered rectangles on my thank you cards. 

For the tags I rounded the two top corners and scallop edge punched the tag bottom. I added a punched Boho Blossom and dimensionaled it to the upper sections of both the tags and the cards. It was a fun and time-saving way to create and personalize my "thank you's" for this month.

Thanks a bunch for stopping by!

We've published our March Newsletter and can't wait to share with you this month's fun "How-To" video that coincides with our newsletter's Craftroom article.
