Cocoa-themed Winter Friendship Card

Just A Note Card

Hello Stampers. Vicky is here today. 
Since school has started, I wanted to show our Spiral Side stamp.

I had some corkboard paper and mounted it on the black cardstock.

I wanted to show a cover, so I used green cardstock and cut a piece of white cardstock for the paper.

I adhered the cardstock to the corkboard paper.

I stamped the Spiral Side twice on the cardstock. Then, I added the other stamps and embellishments to make them look like corkboard pins.

You could add lines and write your own message.

Stamps Used:

I'm Sorry!

I hope you liked the card and have some ideas for the Spiral stamp.

Thank You Card Featuring Minions

Hello, everyone! Toni here with you today with a card inspired by minions and more minions!

I wanted to use a bunch of minions on my card but not so fussy that I had to mask each one so I used a diecut to create little apertures of them.  So cute!

Starting from the upper left and moving clockwise, we have Lucy, Bob, Kevin, and Carl.  The only one I personally recognize consistently is Kevin because he reminds me of a Twinkie. LOL.

I finished the card off by embossing the One in a Minion sentiment and adhering it to the middle of the card.
