My first stamped cards

An extra-large stash of paper and supplies has motivated me to make lots of cards these days. My goal is to use what I have. And I have a lot to use!

The big deal with these cards: I stamped. The stamps are new (Clear and Simple and Amy Tangerine). Stamping is not my thing. I keep trying and keep failing. Failing at stamping, you ask? The mishaps and stories from my stamping adventures are funny in a comedy-of-errors sort of way. You think I'm kidding, but I'm not. There is a very good reason I design and print {almost} everything I do. I like to avoid messes whenever possible. Even this round was a little rough, but I gave it another try with grey ink.

Lo and behold! I actually have presentable cards!
