Stamp Camp North Cards (April 2019)

Despite my best intentions, I have abandoned my blog for the past several weeks!  It wasn't until this morning that I realized I actually haven't posted any new designs since April!  Seriously?!

So today I'm sharing cards from the April 13 Stamp Camp at Westminster Elks.  Please accept my apologies -- some of the stamp sets and papers used by the demos have since retired from the Stampin' Up! catalogs, but the ideas are really cute and you can use other stamp sets and designer papers to create your own beautiful designs based on these cards.

I hope you enjoy these cards!  Will be sharing more soon.
