Bonjour from France!

Welcome back to my week of traveling food!  Today’s card came about in a super fun way and really made me giggle — hope it makes you smile too!

Card by Lisa Spangler. Full supplies (including a template for the beret and mustache!) here.

The story behind this funny French cupcake and his cute coffee sidekick?  Well, it all happened when we were updating the website for July.  See the tagline up there at the top of the page?  One of our mega talented graphic designers, Mon, came up with that — I think she is a genius!  It totally cracked me up, and I asked her if she could make a template of the beret and mustache.  The rest is history!

You can download it here and add French flair to all of your stamping projects.  If you give it a try, please upload your projects to the Hero Arts flickr group and tag them with frenchflair. Can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Konichiwa until tomorrow when I’ll have a Japanese bookbinding video to share,
