This month we are featuring S1208 Baroque Borders.
Baroque Borders is one of those stamp sets that is great to add to your collection. You can use it to create quick and easy backgrounds that will add richness to any project. I've taken one of the stamps in the set and stamped champagne ink on champagne cardstock to create the background below. You could use this same technique on a scrapbook page or a 3-d item.
I also used our new Close To My Heart Cricut Artiste Cartridge to cut the paper the saying is stamped on. Not only do the stamp sets tell you which cartridge to use and what size to cut the image, but now they also tell you what page the image is on in the book. I simply chose my stamp, next to it it said "1 1/2" pg. 65," so I flipped to that page, found my image and cut it. Definitely Faster, Simpler and Easier!!!
You can also use the images as a focal point on any project. On the card below I decided to use one of the beautiful corners as my main image.
I stamped it in outdoor denim on the blue grid pattern in the new Scholastic paper pack.
And just for fun, I flipped the same paper over and added some of our new burlap ribbon to create the card below. You would never know I created both of these cards with the same paper pack! They look completely different!
