So Much Can Be Done With Thanks a Bunch

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today I want to give you directions on how to make four cards…FOUR!!! 🙂

They are all easy cards but will make you think twice about all of your stamp sets. Make sure to look at your sets sideways, upside down, and right side up. There’s often surprises waiting for you. Here are the alternate cards I made with the Thanks a Bunch Photopolymer Stamp Set. Now one is more traditional (carrots), but all of the others are not.

Here are the directions for all of these cards.
