To All the Stamps I've Loved Before

Please note that this post originally appeared on my stamping blog last year. I', in the process of migrating all the stamping content to this page and all the links that are no longer relevant have been removed.

The Heart 2 Heart Challenge for this week is to create something that is “inspired by nature”. This challenge is wide open to interpretation—those are the kinds of challenges I love most!

This is my entry—

I’m mixing up all the stamp companies this time—because that how I ike to stamp! #allthestamps

This card was made using a border stamp and a sentiment stamp from Close to my Heart and a wood-mounted stamp from Impress Cards and Crafts that I have loved for years! It’s called Savy Line Flower Cluster. You can see it here.

That skinny stamp of checked border has been my go-to lately...I’m seriously loving it. It’s in a Close to my Heart set called “Holiday Borders” and is now retired. (Retired stamps is a concept I'll never understand. I get so attached to the lovelies.)   I stamped it out in about six different colors and cut them out at a recent crop night. I find hand cutting or “fussy cutting” as some call it, very soothing and relaxing.

In addition to the challenge card, I also created one more card, using the same collection of stamps. That little torn bit of the checked stamp acts like a piece of washi tape holding things together at the top.




Until next time,
