Well folks, I have about 3 large boxes full of wood block stamps. Before my move a year ago, I would say I had about 8. I had a large rolling floor to ceiling drawered cart filled , alas, I had to downsize. My new craft area is a nook rather than a room, and it's not all set up yet.
The good news is I went through by boxes of wood block stamps and separated some images and sentiments I plan to make cards with and placed them in ziploc baggies together so I knew I had plans for them! That is MAJOR for me - HOORAY!
Here is the first card idea I had. A repeat of a very favorite mini image, the "Tapered Ornie" by AMuse. I have a collection of AMuse mini stamps and they are so precious to me. before I ever blogged, these were the stamps I would use for tags, card inserts, baby cards.. I ADORE them! The last photo at the bottom of my post is pic of most of my mini collection. I found a few more going through my boxes a few days ago. Ha..ha.
Rummaging through the boxes really made me want to show them love. It also made me realize, I really have made cards with most of them (cool). I felt good about that. I am trying to show love to ones I haven't used, also treat myself by making a new card design for ones I have used and are my FAVES.
