The time of year to make graduation cards. I’ve only had one wooden block stamp and one
small set that I believe was a give away to use and have been using them for
over 18+ years since I received them. Yup
same two graduation things but I have made many a card just mixing up the other
elements of the card or using parts of their invitation.
Unlike my Christmas stamp sets (like a zillion) and most un-inked,
I have been able to make do with just 2 graduation type stamps.
I also used the crimper for the corrugated look (I know
everyone this is an old technique and most people have gotten rid of their
crimper but I love the look). Everything
old becomes new again – look at home decorating and clothes.
