Come learn to make a small accordion book, filled with images you will create with rubber stamps. All papers will be cut beforehand so all you have to do is fold and have fun stamping away. We have stamp sets for the 12 days of Christmas, beautiful snow angels, snow scenes, flowers, words, etc. We will also show you easy ways to get color on the background before you stamp. These small treasures make wonderful gifts for your friends, grandchildren and you!
