The set is very on trend with the wood themed rustic weddings right now. The couple had hand made wood burned magnets for the guests.I also wanted to get a head start for them on a … [Read more...] about Always and Forever: Wedding Season!

Today is the last project I will show featuring the stamp set Balloon Celebration. But - you will notice that it is completely different!One of the main advantages of photopolymer stamps is that they are transparent - so when you are stamping the placement is so easy!

I used that … [Read more...] about Balloon Celebration Online Workshop – Project 4
