Each one of these organizations has its own requirements. So we suggest that you check with the links provided before you send them out.

I shall pass through this world but once,
any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being;
let me do it now.
Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.
Quote Stephen Grellet

Beyond Basic Backgrounds

Today we are exploring back grounds for greeting cards using stamps and coordinating dies with embossing powders to create a totally different look. Welcome to another community tutorial as I take my journey through the Altenew Educator Class. I have to say that I love the soft look of these greeting cards.  For this technique you will need a stamp set with the coordinating dies. You will actually create a stencil using the dies for the image that you are using on your background. To create this stencil, you will want to use a heavy white cardstock, at least 90 Lbs. or more. That way, you will be able to use the stencil again. You also will want to make the stencil a bit larger than the actual card base. Overlapping will give you the best results. Creating The Stencil Supplies White cardstock at least 90 lbs. in weight Coordinating die for the stamp you are using. Low tack tape Die cutting machine and plates. Cut the piece of cardstock slightly bigger than the card base you will be usi
