Need some fresh ideas for your next quick card project? Check out this adorable Raccoon Stamp that makes this clean and simple card an adorable option for your next design.
Shelly has created the sweetest birthday card for our CAS Team Challenge. If you have been keeping up with this months blogs, you will have noticed that the majority of our cards are clean and simple, as we encouraged our designers to try to step out of their comfort zones and create compelling cards with minimal items. Shelly said, “I absolutely love clean and simple cards! However, I do know some struggle with making them. Hopefully by sharing my card and steps to making it, it’ll make things easy peasy.” We love how this card turned out, and especially love these sweet little raccoons.
