Welcome to my blog today. I had a very productive making session over the weekend. I purchased some precut 4x6 papers from a creative reuse store. I am of the belief that they are Stampin Up brand but I do not know the name of the DSP. These papers along with this great sketch from Sketch N Scrap made for a nice little collection of cards. I pulled out my Stampin Up Many Messages stamps and die (also purchased second hand) which I have never used. I was actually a little disappointed, there were a couple of sentiments that would not stamp well, even using my MISTI and stamping three times! Of course, I have definitely had other brands not measure up, but never Stampin Up. Maybe that is why the lady sold it to me? I did stamp it twice once in Basic Gray and once in Black. Even with the few I had to ditch, I managed to create a great pile of sentiments for future use as well.
Here is the Sketch N Scrap sketch I used for my collection of cards.
More cards with the same papers and sketch.
