This is my second Rubber Stamp Tapestry card sample, and
I am totally excited about sharing it with you.
CARD BASE:
I created the card base by cutting an 8 ½” x 11” piece of white cardstock I
purchased at Sam’s Club. I cut the cardstock in half for an 8 ½” x 5 ½” card,
scored a line at the 4 ¼” position and folded it in half. That gives us an A2
card measuring 4 ¼” x 5 ½” folded.
CREATING THE DESIGN:
Cut your Oval Die and stamp the sentiment on it using
Rhubarb Stalk (ME or MD301). Using a sponge dauber, edge the oval with Rhubarb
Stalk and set aside.
To create the design, use the following guidelines for
creating your image.

or MD801) on the lower third of the page. Clean your stamp and return it to
