Some more attempts with my Karen Stolper stamps. I have figured out why they don't work with patterned papers. It is because the Christmas patterned papers I own are rubbish! I therefore need new patterned papers that are not rubbish.

Hurrah! I knew the answer would lie in buying more stash, I just knew it!

I'm on a stash ban until the Port Sunlight stamp show in October though, so until then I'm making do with 3-ding some hand cut frames for the ones I make before then. I've glamour dusted the bottom frame. (It's a bugger that glamour dust though isn't it? I breathed in a bit heavily when I was applying it and then couldn't stop coughing all night.)
