My Sweet Friend Card

Created by Lisa Rojas, Stampin' Queen Creations
Give The Queen A Call!

These new stamps from JustRite Clear rubber stamps are fabulous! I really liked working with them on this card. If you join me here every month, I will try to bring you cards that are anything but ordinary. I love putting time into my cards by layering, lots of embellishments, different shapes, cards that move, etc.

Every once in a while, I'll show you how to make a card fast and easy, but if you're looking for cards that are different and detailed, you've come to the right place. And of course to create these types of cards, your life will be some much easier if you add my favorite tool to YOUR toolbox...the Get-it-Straight Laser Square by KellyCraft.
