Had a lot of fun with this set of stamps even though they might be mini but they are mighty! 
My first card is faux postage.  Don't you think they make great faux postage?  I do. Second card is a window cut out.  Cut out the window with a paper punch and stamped saying inside card to peek through window.  For the front of the card I masked off a circle for a moon and got out my blending tool to blend Ranger Distress inks.  The reason for all the birds flying around is because coming home from a trip recently it seemed we saw a lot of buzzards just circling in the sky.

Please leave comment here and at other design team blogs for your chance to win this set of stamps.  Come back tomorrow to see more fun samples.

I like both these cards Sue-the faux postage looks great and the scene you created reminds me of a fall day

That faux postage is a fab idea, and I love the scene on the card with the window slot!

I forget about punching through the card for the saying to show, rather than layering the saying on the front--great idea. And you're famous (at least with me) for your beautiful faux postage.

Your faux postage is amazing. I especially love how you did the butterfly one. That is a lot of "buzzards" on your card.
