Inspire Card

Inspire is a word that is rightfully loved by many. Hopefully we all aim to inspire others and our day is made when someone does that for us.

This stamp was used as a special activityl at the recent CHA trade show, the largest craft show in the world. Hundreds of store owners completed a card such as you see here to earn the Inspire stamp.

This stamp is not in any Posh set and is completely new, created specifically for the CHA show. Dee shows on this page many ways to use it, so make a card and let your imagination run free.

One more thing. The card shown with the word Inspire in white used a white pigment pad and then white embossing powder. Dee used Tsukineko's Versa Color White, but experiment. If you don't have a white pad, use another color that needs no embossing. Only one card shown above and another below need embossing powder.

Note that there are four more cards for your examples that can be enlarged below
