For the last month or so I have been going through some of my older stamps (and papers, crafting supplies, etc.) many of which I have never used! I made a decision that every other card I make needs to use at least one older stamp that has never seen ink.

I remember when I bought this set (nine years ago) I intended to use some Flower Soft on the topiary. Well it finally became a reality! And as it turns out, the Flower Soft was still soft and easy to use after being in a zip lock bag for years!

I’m so glad that I have begun to go through all of this fun stuff. It’s almost like going shopping!

Oh and just a little reminder: When using an embossing folder on the same panel as your sentiment… stamp the sentiment before embossing! You would think after all these years that I wouldn’t need to be reminded of that, but I do.
