Creative Stamping Issue 38 with Free A4 FREE Whatever the Weather stamp set

Here is some video's I found featuring this stamp set:

Papercraft Inspirations issue 161 and using your free embossing folder and mask.

I absolutely love this free gift and think that all embossing folder freebies should come with this type of mask.  It makes the embossing folder so versatile.

Just watch this video to see what I mean and subscribe to their channel for more brilliant ideas.

This mask came just at the right time for valentines day and also our wedding anniversary that it is coming up soon.  I like this idea as the card can be made with either a vertical or horizontal orientation, You will see what I mean in the sample cards (to follow shortly)
