Saturday Spotlight Stamper - Karen Halterman

 About a month ago or so I demonstrated a Faux Step Card, definitely a card that always say "wow" and is quite simple to make.  To find out how I made mine, just go back a few weeks or do a search for Faux Step Card.

This week my featured stamper is Karen Halterman, she decided to try her hand at making a Faux Step Card and the results were outstanding. I always love to see what others come up with when I demonstrate a technique or fold.

I thought Karen's card turned out great and I am glad that she shared it with me.  You can share too!  Just take a picture of your favorite card and text or email it to me.  You can "Contact Me" on the right hand side of this blog to get in touch with me and I will send you my email address.  

Thanks for stopping by, take care.

Cindy

Sympathy Z Fold Card

 In my effort to use up some retiring Designer Series Papers, I came up with a Z Fold Sympathy card.  Unfortunately we always need Sympathy cards, I used the last of my Thoughtful Journey DSP.

This is an easy card to make and I like how everything just fits! Colors are Pool Party for the top card and Boho Blue for the second card.

Thanks for stopping in, tomorrow is April 1st already. Yikes!!

Cindy
