Postcard Pals and Updates

Welcome to my blog. Hope everyone had a great weekend and remembered to set your clocks ahead 1 hour.  With all the excitement with the Occasions and Sale-A-Bration we shouldn’t forget the great things we can find in the Annual catalog! One of these is the Postcard Pals stamp set.

I’ve been wanting to play with this set for awhile but like others got excited about the new things available.
I made these simple cards by using this stamp set combined with Happiness Blooms DSP from the Occasions catalog.
Card 1

Materials and Directions
1. Whisper White cardstock for the cardbase. This card base is a topfold. 41/4 x 11 fold in half on 11 inch side.
2. A 4x4 piece of Happiness Blooms DSP. Glue on the front.
3. A square cut from Whisper White cardstock using the large Stitched square Framelits.
4. Stamp image on the square. You can color or leave black and white. I used the Stampin Blend markers I have. Use what you have. Glue square on top of the DSP as shown in the picture.
5. Stamp sentiment on the front.
Card 2

Another simple card made like the other one.  I used Very Vanilla for the cardbase and a 3x3 square of DSP.  The DSP I  glued diagonally on the front and then glued the stamped image as in the picture. I chose a different image and sentiment from the set. Again you can color the image if you wish.
