A little note ....

I am on a bit of a mission this month to ensure I have used ALL my current stamp sets. We are all guilty we HAVE to have certain sets , we fall in love on sight ... then use them maybe once ? I want to re share some of my sets in the hope to jog our memories and get us re using sets we have. That way we can justify buying more right ?

Handwritten is the large background stamp and it is absolutely awesome, perfect for my

"a little note" card. I wanted a card which I could just send ... not for a birthday or a typical celebration but just to say ...hi !!! I love receiving cards in the mail, I call them SMILES IN THE MAIL and along with my mission to ensure good use of my stamps, I am on a mission to send out some smiles in the mail.

The cute envelopes are made on my envelope punch board using Garden Impressions DSP, although figuring out measurements to end up with a small size. I re discovered my fantastic Crafting Forever set stamping and fussy cutting one of the beautiful pen images just added a cute touch... like someone just wrote the words on the little card.

I do hope you enjoyed this card and please do ensure you go through your collections from time to time and re use sets again to remind yourself why you fell in love with it.

I hope you enjoy this card and will give it a try at home.

Calendar tag book.

I just love making book type projects. And this one is so easy and great to use up that DSP you maybe have slightly hoarded ! I love how this turned out and feel it would make a great gift this Christmas and be perfect for those craft stalls.

This cute book is made up of 12 envelope pockets using the envelope punch board. Each holds a 2 x 4" tag and each tag has a month of the year calendar sheet on. The tags are finished off with pretty ribbon to prom the user to interact and pull the tag out. bound super simply with binder rings. This project could not be easier.

Add a cute front cover and your project is complete. here I layered more DSP onto card then added a pretty stamped die cut sentiment. Voila finished. The little chunky book measures apron 4 1/4 x 3 1/4" so it fits nicely in the hand.

I do have a full step by step tutorial for you to follow on my YouTube I would love you to watch and then create one of these yourself. All the measurements and products used are listed below. If you wish to purchase any items used simply click my shop button.

Have a great day and .... happy stamping xxx Amanda

Add holes to the left side of each envelope by measuring 1" up from the bottom and one inch down from the top and 1/4" inwards... make a pencil mark and punch holes for the rings.
