Sometimes when I am at a stamping event, I'm searching for the WOW card or the WOW technique that I can copy.  These two cards are the WOW cards that I found.  Who knew that two pieces of the 125053 Blue 3/8" Denim Jean Ribbon and one 122941 Silver Mini Brad would become a miniature pair of blue jeans?  Not me!  But they are simply ADORABLE!!!

Don't you just love how they stamped 115026 Lovely as a Tree in the background.  Then they made a clothesline with 124262 White Baker's Twine.  They hung the "jeans" on the Baker's Twine with the 122942 Mini Clothespins.

 And how ding dong ADORABLE is this more feminine card?  So sweet!  Note:  Glue dots will hold the "jeans" in place on your card.
