I'm soooo glad I bought this stamp set – I've used it for almost everything this holiday season and I LOVE IT!

Here's an elegant card I made using the easel layout – the Square Scallop Die is just perfect for this. All you do is fold your cardstock in half and put it on the Square Scallop Die so that the fold is just inside the cutting edge. So you'll have a card that opens with the scalloped edges on three sides. Then fold the front of your card in half. Cut a single scallop square and adhere it to the bottom part of the folded card…does that make sense? It's kind of hard to describe some of this stuff sometimes! It's hard to see in the photo – but I added Dazzling Diamonds to the berries – smashing!!!

My all-time favorite coloring tool is the Aqua Painter…I use it with Watercolor Crayons, Reinkers, Ink Pads and Markers. I colored with my markers on a non-pourous surface…like a piece of tile or your stamp case – then use the Aqua Painter to pick up the color and make your masterpiece!

Don't forget to decorate your envelope!
