Sending Thoughts

Sending Thoughts….

The Sending Thoughts stamp set (in my humble opinion) is one that gets overlooked quite often in the Occasions Catalog (page 44).  It has some of the sweetest sentiments and it so versatile and (again…in my humble opinion) is definitely a keeper.  I love it even more paired with the beautiful Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper.  Oh!  And those sweet dragonflies!  Ugh….gorgeous!

Here’s a look at all of the sentiments in the stamp set.


It comes in both wood and clear mount too.  SCORE!

Here are the details for this card…

  2. Stamp greeting on same layer with Smokey Slate ink.
  3. Adhere strip of designer series paper to left side.
  4. Stamp dotted image in Calypso Coral ink on card front several times so it will show under the die cut dragonfly images.
  5. Adhere front layer to card base.
  6. Glue die cut dragonflies back into place by placing glue behind the bodies of the dragonflies only – this allows the wings and tails to pop up a little bit.
