Hi there!

This is Francine Vuillème from Switzerland. I’m thrilled to join Your Next Stamp as a special guest this month. I have collaborated with YNS since 2014 and it’s always a huge pleasure to play with their lovely stamps. Also, Karen is the sweetest! Thanks for the opportunity to join once again!

For this spot, I’ve decided to feature the Crazy Fun Shopping Carts:  

I went for a clean and simple but colorful birthday card. I started by making a top-folded card base using white card stock. I adhered a piece of rainbow patterned paper that I found in my scraps in the center of the card front. I stamped the sentiment, also from the Crazy Fun Shopping Carts stamp set, to the top of the card in black ink. I used my Misti stamping tool to stamp straight. Next, I stamped the funny shopping cart, colored it and cut it with scissors. But there are coordinating dies if you don’t like fussy cutting. The small Oooooo! speech bubble is from the Silly Monsters Chill Out stamp set. I assembled the card as shown and fixed all elements with foam pads for more dimension. It’s such a happy card with all those colors!

I hope you’ve enjoyed this card inspiration. Stay tuned… I’ll come back with a second guest spot later this month. Thanks so much for stopping by!

♥ Francine
