A is for A-size Stamp!

The rainy weather today was the perfect recipe for creating today.   So I sat down with my Creative Basic Wings Collection paper and a couple of A-size stamps and created a few cards!  This week I have my Card Chatter Workshop and we are going to be using this same paper to make our cards.  If you missed my post on my Card Chatter Workshop you can see it here.    I wanted to show off our A-size stamps at the workshop along with our wonderful How To books - Originals (9032) and Wishes (9033).    My card-making skills were really lacking in the design department before these books came along.   Now I make cards with confidence!  hmmmm..... Maybe that is why they are referred to as a Card Confidence program! 


I love the style of these new A-size stamps!  They make creating quick cards very simple and easy and they are OH SO CUTE!   The price of these A-size stamps is great too at just $7.95.  There are eleven different A-size stamps to choose from.  I've compiled all eleven right here for you to see!


I used "A Tweet" and "A Sip" for my two cards.

    I just got both of these books recently and love them also! I feel the same way about making cards - they have designs for all sizes of cards and the CD has the templates for envelopes to fit the cards - they are all great! Beautiful cards!

I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measureme...
