Tips for Making These Quick & Easy Cards:
- If you don’t have any pretty papers, try stamping your own all-over design with floral stamps OR stamp one LARGE image like a flower on a 3″x3″ piece of white card stock.
- Don’t have any embossing folders? Leave the background plain or replace the card stock with another piece of pretty paper with a more subtle design.
