Stamperia Stash Busting Inverted Stepper Cards

 This week, I am delving into my Stamperia stash to created these Inverted Stepper Cards. The collection is called Winter Tales and is perfect for both Winter Birthdays and occasions, and Christmas.

Vintage Altered Envelopes. Fun to Create Projects!

 This week I've dug out some of my leftover digital print outs from a project that I made a few weeks ago using the 'Patchwork' collection from Shabbydabbydoodah. I decided to alter some small envelopes to create these little projects in a vintage style. They would be fun to send as a card, record quotes and ideas, or to add to a junk journal for memory keeping.

In my video, I have recorded my simple technique for decorating, so that you can create similar projects with your own supplies.

Hope you enjoy it!
