Stampin' Up! What's Your Type? For Backgrounds on Handmade Cards

Stampin-up-whats-your-type-card-idea
Stampin' Up! What's Your Type Card Idea

The new Stampin' Up! What's Your Type? stamp set was a little scary to me at first but now that it's seen ink, I'm having a blast using it!

The geometric and abstract images can be used form letters of the alphabet and other shapes such as animals, sailboats, hearts, and more.

My love of this set comes from it's ability to form unique backgrounds and borders that will be appropriate for both feminine and masculine cards. So don't let it "scare" you! Step out of the box and give this new photopolymer set a try!
