Week 316: PUNCTUATION


It's time for a new cue word!  Remember learning where and when to use those lovely punctuation marks in school?  This week, we're going to see how you decide to use them when thinking creatively!  This could be interesting!

As always, remember the following CAS guidelines when creating your design:
  1. One main image
  2. Lots of open space, uncluttered
  3. Limited layers & embellishments
  4. Quick & easy to recreate (Note: It may take a while to create a design you like, but once you have that design, making more should be a piece of cake!)

Your Next Stamp is returning as our wonderful sponsor this week!  You'll want to check out their exciting new release this Thursday in the online store!


This week's winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to the online store!

Let's see what the design team and our guest designer created to inspire you!
