Good morning!  Today several members of the CardMaker Blog team and Gina K. Designs team are  showcasing stamps used in Melanie Muenchinger's newest book  Fabulous Stamped Frames , published by Annie's.  This cardmaking tutorial book features 36 projects using seven of Melanie's bold and line art frame stamp sets from  Gina K. Designs .  These versatile sets   each contain a frame stamp large enough to fill an A2 card front, which can be rotated portrait or landscape style, along with coordinating images and sentiments, that allow both beginners and advanced crafters to enjoy endless design possibilities for year-round themes, occasions and styles. Not all sets are needed to get a ton of instruction and ideas from this book! Melanie challenged us to each put our own spin on one of the sets, so we hope you enjoy what you see today!  She and Gina will be sharing videos as well to show more of the book and some of the stamps in action. Here is the card that I made us

This is going to be one exciting week for all of you Lawn Fawn lovers out there!!  CHA is right around the corner, so we will be showcasing some of the new products that will be hitting store shelves soon!!  Make sure to visit the Lawn Fawn Blog everyday this week, to check out new product, so much inspiration and for a chance to win new stuff!! My project I am sharing today, is a "boo" bag.  Have you ever "boo-ed" your neighbors, or been "boo-ed"?  If not, you should do it, it is so much fun!  Basically, you leave treats for your neighbors, ring the door bell and run away as fast as you can.  You leave a note saying they have been "boo-ed" (you can find this online) you don't say who it is from, and then they are supposed to "boo" a neighbor. Anyhow, here is a cute "boo" bag that could go into a "boo" basket. This is a new stamp set called, Critters in Costume!  And yes, there is a Lawn Cut die set
