So not too long ago I couldn't take it anymore and ordered some Kim Hughes stamps from Cornish Heritage Farms.
I have been SOOOO good and held off for SOOOO long and then after her last release I was talking to a friend on the phone and we decided to order together and then she'd ship me my part of it (since she's in the states we qualified for free shipping no problem *wink*).
I hafta say we got AWESOME service from CHF - she placed the order on a Friday and the following MONDAY the order was at her door!
She then shipped me out mine and I sat here and waited FOREVER (which is odd b/c everything she mails me gets here really fast).........when the envelope arrived I could see why.
I should have taken a picture of it b/c it literally looked like a couple of postal workers got in a fight over it as it was badly ripped on each end and the biggest tear was taped up (and I know for a fact the envelope was brand new when it was mailed out!). That was all well and good b/c the stamps were fine - until I started cutting them it was when I realized that the Kim Hughes SOTM (stamp of the month) wasn't there! It was the smallest of all the stamp packages and musta slipped out of the envelope! *sad face*
I am still super bummed about it as it's no longer available (well 'till tomorrow anyway) and I loved that little turtle but I can't afford to buy it again and pay for shipping just for the one little set - *shakes fist at the PO*. I DO get a chuckle over my "story" of the fighting PO workers (I bet they just KNEW there was some sweet stuff in it......) and I hope one of 'em gave the little turtle a home where he will get inked up regularly.......ROFLOL!!!
ANYHWO - back to the card - I just threw this one together for fun before I have to get Josie up from her nap and start making supper.
I stamped the cupcakes from the Hugs and Kisses set with Brilliance Coffee Bean ink, colored them in with Copic Markers and then cut them out. I then pulled out one of my marvy scalloped punches and took a few "bites" out of the cupcakes before adhering them to the circles with dimensionals.
I used CHF's Weave backgrounder (one of my all-time favorite BG stamps) on the card base (masking off where I didn't want any ink), and stamped the hey cupcake sentiment on the bottom right and that was it!
And the end of this post is just in time as I can hear Josie so she's awake and there's time to take the girls outside to play before I start supper (we are FINALLY getting nice weather!! I wish I could be outside all day and so do the girls!!).
Have a great night everyone!
