Panda Card


Everything seems to be coming up Chinese these days and with her elegant simplicity, Rosemary Lam makes the source of inspiration unmistakable. Her cards are always clean and bold which is the original Posh style. You can make this card too!

Look at the entire set and think of all the far Eastern ”poshabilities”. Like all of Dee Gruenig’s sets, a huge value is provided to make nearly infinite combinations from a single set, with all stamps meticulously designed in proper proportion to one another to be used interchangeably. You can extend this by combining it with another in the new Cultural Posh category such as the Japanese set. Other cultural sets to be considered for this are the African set and the soon to arrive Pre-Columbian set.

With these sets you can make cards until the pandas (er - cows) come home!

*Products for making these will be available in the future.
