Just a quick little card…

Published by Julia Stainton at 4:40 pm under Card Designs

I am in serious need of some thank you notes! I’ve had a dreadful sinus headache again today but am starting to feel better now. Thought I’d get started on at least one of the notes and decided to keep it fresh and simple for spring. I LOVE this Cosmo Cricket Dutch Girl line that I bought from Jacksonbelle! It is so easy to work with and the colors and patterns, so fun! I don’t known if you’ve noticed…but I’ve rediscovered SU’s kraft cardstock. I love using it as a card base…it goes with everything.

For this card I used my old SU Love ya Bunches stamp set. I’ve been spring cleaning and thinking of getting rid of some of the sets I haven’t used in a while. I came across this one and decided I needed to give it another whirl. Have you ever done that? Brought out an older set and breathed new life into it. Sometimes our styles change, color combos change, embellishments change and it is so much fun to pull things out again and use them with your latest additions.

Spring Bunches Thank You

    Beautiful Julia! I love how you used this stamp set. It’s fun to use old stamps with new embellishments - gives the stamps a whole new look!
