Time does fly by – doesn’t it? This summer has been a bit of a whirlwind, visiting different areas of the country and going to a music conference . . . all good, but having fun just means you need to catch up on some work. Then you throw in a little bit of not feeling well for a week with strong headaches and before you know it – it’s been a month since posting! It’s been good to take some time off and make yourself not stress over things. We can’t always do this but isn’t it great when we can? That’s the advantage of having your own stamping business – you can make your own schedule!
Here’s a card we made at one of my stamp classes using the Bordering Blooms photopolymer stamp, Endless Birthday Wishes, Petite Petals and Banner Banter stamp sets. Bordering Blooms has definitely become one of my favorite photopolymer stamps. The white baker’s twine was colored with Basic Gray ink. The envelope was made with the Envelope Punch Board – love it – a must have!! Sometimes in the process of creating a card, I realize I want it narrower or bigger and I’m so glad I have my Envelope Punch Board to make my own envelope whatever size I want so that my card can fit perfectly in the envelope!
Till next time . . . Brunie
