WT508: One of my 'postage stamp' I had was this one for Snail Mail. I got it two years ago and probably only used it once or twice ... this was the perfect challenge to use it again. Thanks!

Oh my goodness I had to race to throw together a birthday card this morning to get it out in the mail before I ran to the shower for work. I used the sketch challenge this week and combined it with the ways to use it challenge for today to do a fast card. Then when I got done realized I put the top on the wrong side of the card. LOL! I do that a lot so I cut the card front and glued it on a white card stock to get it in the mail. LOL! Here is my card:
I used SU's Punches Three for my sentiment, and added a fussy cut flower for my central image. Used a flag stamp, and finished with a silver cord bow, and a red and blue bow combo for my vertical border. Here's True Blue Friend

Toni- awesome challenge, thanks! I have been working on a Christmas quilt (see background) and took a break to make this card- already had the leaves in my stash- ran them through with an ef- then added this fabric ornament- a gift- and added a Santa stamp. Done! Here's Santa's Bears

OMG, OMG, OMG, I used my postage stamp again and had to make a birthday card for a very crafty family member. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this card. Thanks for looking:
