Wish Big
This is a card by Susan Field who designed this card for a organized swap at the recent annual Stampin' UP! convention held in Salt Lake City, UT. She was gracious enough to allow me to take the measurements so that I could copy it for my July stamp camp. I love the colors in the Bohemian Designer Paper Series and the cutie patootie Octopus will surely make someones day.

Don’t Cry Over Spilled Coffee
We made this card a while back at my October stamp camp. I actually sewed the paper with my mom's Singer Golden Touch n Sew sewing machine. It must be 40 years old at least. Its performance and my rusty skills were match perfectly to create the shabby chic effect I was going for. We used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set to make it look like someone had spilled their coffee on the card. That was a hoot. Sponging added more shabbiness. I loved how it turned out for a masculine looking card. The crinkled twine used was defrayed burlap ribbon.
