While I've been on maternity leave (pre-baby) I've gotten some good time to scrap! Unfortunately due to my size, it takes me a while to get things done....
I do it! This uses my sketch from 4/21

I learned how to do these at my LSS this weekend.
Basics:
Take 3 (or more) stamps, 3 (or more) colors ink. Random stamp a 12x12 piece of cardstock.
Cut 4 equal circles (smallest one I used my coluzzle, largest one is about 5.75" diameter). Fold circles in half, design on outside. Ink edges. Then measure the diameter of the circle. Cut a square piece of cardstock that size, ink edges.. Adhere each circle to the square piece of cs, overlapping on the back. When you fold up the card, you fold like a box, so it looks like a pillow box. You can stamp a sentiment on the inside of your card as I did!
Hope that all made sense :)
