 The special stamp set we have for you this month is:

"News From The Woods"

 The mini stamp set we have for you this month is

                                                         "Corn Ears"

Several of my cards for this month's blog hop were made using directions from some of the cards I found in a new issue of Just Cards 3D.  My first card today is one of them -- an accordion-fold card.  It folds up to a 4 1/4" x 4" card.  I adjusted the directions from the card in the magazine.  That one measured 3" x 5 1/4" when folded up.

 
I started with a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of cardstock for the base and scored it at 1 3/4", 3", 5", and 7".

The extra set for this month is called News from the Woods.  I made a very simple card using this set for you to see today.


There are actually three different "critters" you can choose from (the owl, a bear, and a cute little raccoon) -- all of which will peek out of that center birch tree.

Be sure to check out all the cards in today's Blog Hop and comment on as many as you can.  Remember the more you comment, the more chances you have to win a free set of stamps.

    Wow, your cards are fabulous. I love the accordion fold card and your coloring is fab. The tree card is pretty, too, The trees look great on the blue sky with the puffy clouds.
