As papercrafters, just about all of us have at least ONE stamp in our craft stash. And wouldn't it be nice to have more ways to make use of these tools?! The wonderfully informative book 100 Great Ways with Rubber Stamps is just the answer. (UK readers click here for book details)

Each of the 25 chapters focuses on a key technique or material, then features a range of four inspiring step-by-step card designs incorporating that theme. Discover favorite techniques such as heat embossing and brayering, along with exciting new trends, including scrapbooking and hand-carved stamps.
This week our featured project is the Provence Tile card. In this project you'll use a single stamp to create this dainty card, from which selections were cut and rearranged in a pleasing layout.

With all the cute, feminine papercrafting supplies--floral prints, lots of bling, silk flowers, gorgeous trim--it’s easy to forget about the men in our lives. Well, it’s time to give them a little attention!

This beautiful (but masculine!) card is great for a son or husband who’s a car enthusiast; bring him cheer with this nostalgic celebration of the glory days of the early motorcar, picture paused on the open road winding through the countryside. I love the clever double-fold of the card, shaped like hillsides, and the vintage car image cut from paper. Your man doesn’t like cars? Don’t limit yourself! Anyone—male or female—with a passion for all things vintage would appreciate a card like this.
