Now on to the show!

Since this blog hop is all about ALPHABETS, I really got to experimenting with my two favourite alphabet stamp sets; Lots of Dots and Rough Copy Alphabet.

For my first card, I wanted the alphabets to be the highlight of my card, so I grouped them together and stamped them in a word format, multiple times as the focus for my simple card.

supplies: stamps, myStamp BOX (lots of dots); cardstock, Bazzill, Walmart; inks, Stampin' Up!, Ranger; jute, Stampin' Up!; book paper, Danielle Steele book; die cut shape, Spellbinder's; misc. thread.

For my second use of alphabet stamps, I thought it might be neat to create a shaker card where you could see something fun inside the letters! So I created a shaker card using my Rough Copy Alphabets and some snowflake images from my Let It Snow stamp set.
