I resurrected an old technique/project for an upcoming class.  Attendees will learn how to stamp one sheet of cardstock and then cut it up to make a cardholder and 6 coordinating cards.

Fabulous Florets and various greeting stamp sets; Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango and Daffodil Delight inks and cardstocks.

Here is an inside view of the cardholder:

I used the Reason to Smile stamp set that is on special this month…spend $50 and you can purchase it for only $5!!

I CASEd a card design by Teresa Pannell.  Tangerine Tango ink cardstock and ribbon; Adorning Accents hearts TIEF; Postage Stamp and 1-3/8" Square punches.

You can't tell on this photo but I did use Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the centers of the flowers.
