Welcome to the Stampendous “Fran•tage Encrusted Jewel Hop”!
All of us on the Stampendous DesignTeams are sooo excited about this new technique…an accidental creative process discovered by our own Fran Seiford, Chief Artistic Officer at Stampendous!
There is a quote that says, “There are no mistakes, just opportunities for embellishment!” How true is that? Today our super-creative-with-mistakes designers are excited to show you how you can deliberately create with gorgeous sloppiness. For more info on the process of Encrusting with the Fran•tage Essentials, check out the YouTube video HERE.
Here’s the list of our Encrusted Hoppers for today:
