Bird Window Frame Thanks Card | Tracy Marie Lewis | www.stuffnthingz.com

I cut two 3D frames and thought they would make a perfect shaker card. This is the first finished project. Using a Terracotta Tile Scripty embossed piece of cardstock leftover from a different project, I attached that to the back of the frame.

This is a simple stamping card that I made on the Whispe White thick card base. I like to make my simple cards on a regular Whisper White card front, but I felt like challenging myself!.

I am entering the following challenge:...

I enjoyed two days of crafting at my mom's. This is one of my later projects, I had this in mind as a #simplestamping project. Each month Stampin' Up! publishes a simple stamping card style for demonstrators to make. I like to stretch myself to make a few of them. For me, the more elaborate cards are easier. They tend to be busy with many layers of ink and cardstock so many mistakes can be...
