July's stamp club was a lot of fun. I had 5 ladies join me and they all seemed to enjoy the projects. I have set up my club each month around one main "featured" stamp set. We work on two cards and one 6x6 scrapbook page. For July, I selected Fabulous Florets. This first card was fun to design. I have always been a sucker for embossing!!

You will notice on these two cards that I have used COLOR rhinestones!! Where did I get those, you ask?
Well, I discovered you can tint the clear rhinestones by staining them with a sharpie marker! How awesome is THAT?!?! Thanks, Mary Fish, for the great tutorial!
