Zen Trees

 Hello (Chris here!)

TJ just came out with another great background stamp called Zen Trees.  I live the Zentangle look.  I wanted the focus to be on the background, so I revisited a favorite card layout.   You can see it here. I made a video using some other TJ stamps.  It is a great fun fold because it is easy to make and also easy for the recipient to figure out.   I hope you will give it a try. 

I made a card while ago using this layout.  You can see it here.

Through Your Door with tutorial

Hi Junkies!

Chris here!  Check out these amazing St. Patrick's Day stamps.  My favorite stamp in this release is the shamrock background.  I have another card I made with it. I'll share it later this month.  I played around and made a surprise flap card.  I love that it could hide a secret message.  Check out the video to see this card in action. 

I made lots of versions  of this card.  I'd love to know which is your favorite
