Just Because

Last night my Stamping Together Sundays premiered and what a blast we had. It all happened on my Facebook business page, Linda Lou Creates, so be sure and follow to get the latest updates. I post a list of supplies the day before so you have time to gather them up and prepare your cardstock. Then at 8pm eastern time on Sundays, I host a FB Live and we all stamp together.

This card featured stamping your own background and masking techniques. The sentiment was stamped first then covered with Post It Notes. The background was stamped, keeping the sentiment area free of ink. The big reveal then happens when the Post It Notes are removed and you have that Ta-Da moment!! Simple yet fun. Sure hope you can join me each Sunday by using your own supplies as we stamp together.

Measurements:
Gray Granite card base: 8-1/2 x 5-1/2", scored and folded at 4-1/4"
Night of Navy - 5-1/8 x 3-7/8"
Whisper White - 5 x 3-3/4"
