More card play…

My cat and dog stamps arrived.. aren’t they adorable??  I wanna play more with the bicycling stamps in the Life kit.. but had to get back to cooking and sewing today.    Sat. April 28th.

 

 

Misc. note cards.

Amazon is my friend….when the Bug bites me to make some Cards.. I found the sewing machine and tiny kitty stamp.. along with a couple others that should be delivered soon..  ink and chalk coloring works for me in doing up some quick HI note cards.  

Then I used the vintage news print bag that my stamps came in!!!  and stamped the kitty randomly.. Inked the outer edges and added a sewing machine cut out that I made with MY stamp.   Got a little messy, but ooooo, sooooo, satisfying!!

It has been a long time since I had the urge to play with my stamps..tho I have been looking at the newer clear acrylics.. nice, but most are just tiny.. then I found the ones with words & sayings.   They were in the 97 cent bins…along with the ink pads and cards..   Yes, I ran out of cards and didn’t have envelopes to make more from card stock..   I snatched up alot of goodies from those 97 cent bins, too and made some Misc Cards that will work of everyday “thank you”s  and just Missing or lovin on ya today.
