Dogwood Birds

Welcome to a new year of crafting fun! The Stampendous Design team is sharing some of our creations using the new 6" x 6" Cling Rubber Stamps recently released by Stampendous. They are beautiful and help making backgrounds a quick, easy step in your card making fun! They are perfect for all your other projects too, of course.

My blog last week featured the new Cling Sunny Sketch Rubber Stamp, click here to see it if you missed it. It's one of my favorites (although, I say that about most of my stamps!).

My card today features the adorable Dogwood Birds (W196) stamp nestled on a background created with the Cling Blossom Scroll stamp (6CR003). The Fitted Frames from Stampendous are designed to fitted all the various sizes of their stamps perfectly. There are two sets of Fitted Frames, here is the other set.
