Be sure to get this western stamp set that's one of my favorites and will soon be gone.

Thanks for stopping today and I hope you feel inspired!

Teeny Tiny Wishes Mother's Day cardstock

This card combines a couple of my favorites from Stampin' Up! The Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch is a punch that should be in every stamper and scrapbookers inventory!! And since it will be gone at the end of this month (if not sooner if it sells out), you better snatch it up if you want it! It can be used for so much!
The other favorite on this card is the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes. If you are a beginner to cardmaking, this is definitely a stamp set that I recommend. It is one of the higher priced stamp sets from Stampin' Up! at $36.95, but you get 24 sentiments from i'm so sorry to For the Newlyweds to HAPPY GRADUATION to With Sympathy. It covers most holidays and big events and would be a great addition to your inventory.

Stamps: P.S. I Love You (frame around the sentiment) (clear mount and wood mount), Teeny Tiny Wishes, Bold Blossoms (retired)

Ink: Old Olive stamp pad, Wisteria Wonder stamp pad

Paper: Wisteria Wonder cardstock, Soft Suede cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Island Indigo cardstock, Pool Party cardstock, Brights Patterns Designer Series Paper Stack (Regal Rose)

Other: Modern Label punch, Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch, Basic Pearls, 3/8" Pleated Satin Ribbon (Pear Pizzazz)

This is such a fun card and can be used with so many other sentiments from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.
Thanks for stopping by today!
