Woodblock Wednesday With Stampendous and a Field of Blooms

Image
  Welcome to a new Woodblock Wednesday - the day of the week dust off and use a woodblock stamp or stamps to make a card or cards.  Today I am joining Amy and  Tsuruta Designs  for her January Edition of Woodblock Wednesday.  If you play along, link up on her blog - there is a new sponsor and a prize to be won.   I made 2 cards today - almost the same - an Easter card and a sympathy card - using 3 woodblock stamps - Field of Blooms from Stampendous, Happy Easter from Studio G, and In My Thoughts from A Muse Stamps - all retired and from my stash.   I made two A2 card bases using white cardstock and adhered a piece of decorative paper to the front of each one.

Cards and Gifts from Friends Haul - I Was Blown Away!

Hello everyone.  Between the end of October and into December I received a few beautiful cards and some packages of goodies.  I was not able to do a video until now because I had gotten a few orders that took up most of my time in November and December.  I finally made the video today showing everything I got.     Truly, I was blown away by the generosity of a few people I know from Facebook, and I had no idea all of this was coming my way.  My birthday is Christmas Eve and I felt like I was getting early birthday/holiday gifts.  I am truly blessed and 2023 ended nicely.     Enjoy the video.  Links are below to any social media pages of my friends as well as links to everything I got if it's still available.  I'm sure, after watching the video, someone is going to say "I need that".  LOL Let's start with Sue's card: Floral Garden stamp by Simon Says Stamp http://tinyurl.com/2yfp7trx Make sure to check out (and follow)...
