They have been on quite a journey I can tell you. First up they were delivered goodness only knows where but then marked as 'addressee gone away' and thankfully returned to Claire at WMS HQ. After a few emails back and forth they were then re-posted and headed back to me and this time they arrived at the correct destination. I couldn't be happier.
I have been wanting a seed packet set of stamps long before Claire ever released them so it's exciting to finally get my hands on some and I have a whole bunch of pumpkins from our plot ready to cook for pies. I plan to toast the seeds to make a home made snack and now that I have these stamps I can package some up for sharing that look really cute too.
The Nestie dies are some that have been on my wish list for far too long now and the stamp die set is one that was out of stock a couple of times so I'm thrilled to finally have this now. All I need to get are some more clear CD cases to store all these in.
I have been pretty busy this evening packaging up my mini cards for charity that I've been making since the weekend plus I baked a cake for home group tomorrow ready to frost just before we leave so I haven't had time to play much. That said I did take just 5 minutes to create a couple more mini cards. Can you believe these took just 5 minutes - that's for both of them together! When I have finished making all my cards I plan to make some for myself to have on hand. I have set a date for about half a dozen ladies from church to help me make a bunch to sell as well which should be really fun. I can't wait! LOL
I am just having way too much fun making these mini cards - all stamped, not a bit of designer paper in sight and with some lovely frames made using a couple of small WMScorner scroll stamps and a black fine liner felt pen.
Here's a peek at a couple more. I pulled out several sets of 'faith' stamps from Verve, PTI, WMS and StampinUp! plus a few floral sets and have created some adorable mini cards. I promise I will be back tomorrow to post a few more pictures. I hope 'hot potato' you will be inspired when you see some of the 'plain Jane's' I've used and what I've done with them plus lucky for you, you have a delivery on the way huh?
For now I need to go whip up my frosting and then head off to bed I think. I'm toying with the idea of trying out the rose cake frosting idea that I've seen on Pinterest here but I need to see just how deep (high) my cake sits when I layer it up first. I figure if it works - great and if not - well then I could just smoosh up the frosting and make it look somewhat presentable huh? I'll see how I feel tomorrow when I come home from work since that's when I plan to do it.
Wish me luck!
Hugs
Suezie

Hi Suzy, it was your card designs that inspired me to order the Plain Jane stamps, I can't wait for them to arrive. I might now have to look at the WM web site too!
