At the London Stampin' Up! regional seminar last weekend, I was given a new stamp set. It's called Best Wishes And More - Page 55 #111602. If I am totally honest, it isn't a set that was on my wish lest and truthfully, I hadn't really noticed it, but something strange happened yesterday..........
This weekend is our stamp club meeting and so I decided to use my new set for my swaps. Half way through using this new set, I discovered that I was really, really enjoying it and just enjoying stamping with it. I spend a lot of time creating classes and make 'n takes for other people and I often forget to stop and enjoy stamping just for me.
Thank you "Best Wishes and More" - you reminded me why I absolutely love stamping.
I just know that this is one of those sets that will come out time and again, because it has something for every season - As I was creating, I was even planning how I could use it for a Fall and Holiday card later this year.
When I saw the bird image in this set, I just had to get out my big shot, because the bird reminded me of the bird I have in my Birds and Blooms Sizzlits and then I saw that there were leaves too and it all just came together. I used my new 1 3/4" circle punch for the large regal rose circle and who can't resist using our fabulous Sale-A-Bration FREE paper and ribbon when it's this pretty?
I had the best time making these swaps - can you tell? I feel like I took a mini stamping vacation, so refreshing.
Stay posted, I have a feeling there will be lots more examples with this set in the coming months.
I hope the ladies like them, you know me, I always worry about that kind of stuff.
