Rubber Stamping & Card Making with Yapha

I am pleased to announce that I have completed my second volume of card sketches! Thank you all for your kind words on the first book, it is what inspired me to keep on going. This PDF contains sketches for square cards. It is 23 pages long, and contains 41 sketches, because there is an extra one on the title page. If you are interested in purchasing the PDF, it is $4. All you have to do is click the PayPal “Buy Now” button below and I’ll send the PDF out to you as soon as I get your email. As you can see, there are also options in case you don’t already have the first book. (More about that here.)

Let this book of sketches spark your inspiration! Containing 40 sketches, plus a bonus one on the title page, it is sure to get your creative juices flowing. The sketches are clean, elegant, and easy to read. All are done in shades of gray, so as not to influence your color choices. Please let me know if you have any questions.
