GIFT BAG THANK YOU HANDMADE CARD

Hello there! Smileystampinmama here with a handmade THANK YOU greeting card! I used the Gift Bag stamp from  MY HEART STAMPS FOR YOU which you can find in my ebay store. SMILEYSTAMPINMAMA RUBBER STAMPS, to embellish the card.  For layers, I used Stampin' Up Cardstock in Night of Navy (A2 card base 5 1/2 in by 8 1/2 in folded in half), Whisper White (5 1/4 in by 4 in), Basic Black ( 5 1/8 in by 3 7/8 in), and Echo Park designer paper (5 in by 3 3/4 in) from Echo Park 6x6 paper pad. I made this card while i was still on my trip in San Antonio to visiting my sister. I am thankful for spending the time with my sister and mother. We have a great time together, playing cards and binge watching netflix. I used the Tim Holtz travel stamp platform. Glad i got one before they get out of them. This is definitely a tool that was worth every penny and useful. It definitely made stamping easier for me.

I stamped the image using a memento tuxedo Black ink pad twice, once on white cardstock and once on Echo Park designer paper. i love cutting out the images, i actually enjoy it!!! I make extras and save them in a baggy for later. The flowers and leaves are die cut with the flower and leaf vine dies from Spellbinders Shapeabilities Flower Basket Die Set, and inked with the memento dew drop ink pads. The Dew Drop ink pads were easy to pack in my suitcase versus packing 300 plus copic markers. The thank you die is a Recollections die from Michaels, glued on with my 1rst choice of glue (Crafter's Pick The Ultimate).  It is getting harder for me to find this glue it used to be available at the Hobby Lobby near me, but i can't find it there or at Michael's so i am now ordering it online. I first started using it  when mom & I were making paper flowers with the now retired Punch Bunch Paper Punches. Those flowers are still together after more than 7 years ago when we started making the 3d punched flowers. I have had cards and embellishments that fall apart so i usually stick to the products that i have had good luck with. The Crafter's Pick glue and Scotch 3m Permanent Double Sided Tape. I have made quite a few cards with the Gift Bag stamp, so more blog posts on this stamp coming!
