This set was fairly easy to make - the most time consuming thing was trying to line up and space the images as perfectly as possible. I accomplished this by straightening the white cardstock they are stamped on along grid paper then figuring out the center line and working out from there for horizontal spacing. Then, I just eyeballed vertical spacing and the angle I wanted the image at. It's not perfect - but I still like it.Here you can get a better look at the cards:
It's kind of funny how even with such similar cards I still have a favourite!The stripes were created just using my real red stampin' marker and a ruler! I have to say too, that I love this 1/8" taffeta ribbon! I originally thought it would be too skinny to be useful but it turns out quite nicely.

These are gorgeous Allison! FAB design!
What a great idea for that stamp set, Allison! I love the crisp, clean look of the red & white, too.
But why on earth didn't you use the Stamp-a-ma-Jig to line up your images? Not that they're crooked or anything, but your description of how you did it sounds really hard, lol.
I actually did use the stamp a ma jig a bit - but I find it quite difficult to space things equally apart using it - I mostly just used it for trying to keep the angle of the stamps the same!
