Cute Little Postage Stamps

Happy Wednesday, peeps! I was lying in bed unable to sleep one night last week and remembered I had these cute tiny little stamps in my stash that would be good for a postage-style card.  The stamps are pretty poor quality, but they are cute, and with a little TLC, I can usually get them to stamp a fairly good image.  I already had a piece of Pool Party embossed with a snowflake embossing folder, so I used that as my starting point:

The card itself is notecard-sized.  I used dies from Waffle Flower's Postage Collage set, then stamped the images and added some shading and coloring.  A couple of stamped images from the Postage Collage stamp set added to the "postage" feel.  Snowflake Sky is the embossing folder I used, and I sponged Craft White ink all over the embossing for that snowy look!  A sentiment from Papertrey went on the inside. 

And since the Double D Challenge has a beautiful winter theme, I am going to pop it in there, as well as the Can You Handle The Pressure challenge!  (Thanks for the suggestion, Darlene!)

Thanks for stopping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

Happy Friday, everyone!  Brrr, it's cold here in SE PA!  But the sky is blue and the sun is shining so all is well! I had some time this morning to make a quick little Thanksgiving card using the FMS sketch, and I am also entering it at Simply Clean & Simple, where their theme is "thanks".

A while back I purchased some "inexpensive" clear stamps from an online company...they were little and cute, but required a wee bit of TLC to get them to stamp clearly.  I finally had success by running a pencil eraser over each stamp before inking....much better!  So I used three of them to make my Thanksgiving card:

I stamped the images in Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Pecan Pie, and the stitched lines in matching colors.  Each image was diecut with an Ornate Frames die:

The sentiment is from an oldie, Good Greetings:

And the inside is an even older oldie, Falling Leaves:

Another to add to my Thanksgiving stash!  Thanks for popping in today--enjoy it and be blessed!

No snow like some parts of the country, but the view from my front door showed lots of frost this morning....before the sun hit it!  AND lots of leaves waiting to be raked!
