Clear & Simple Stamps - August Style Watch #1

 


Is there a such thing as a delivery that ISN’T special?! I am always so excited to see the mail truck pull up on a day when I’m expecting a fun package!


For today’s project I thought it would be fun to play with the “Special Delivery” sentiment in this month’s House Notes set. With just a smidgen of creativity, you can use this one, simple sentiment for a variety of occasions!
 
I decided to pull out the Tweet Notes set from June to show off a slightly different way to use this month’s set. So let’s take a look at how we can use one layout and one sentiment two different waya

Until later, Loverlies,

    1. Two beautiful cards. Great use of the same sentiment in totally different ways. Your mailbox card reminds me of my lonely mailbox when I am expecting a PTI delivery (which is often!!)

    3. These are just wonderful. Love the clean and simple look but with the added details like the grass & how you stamped outside of the box on the bird card. Gorgeous!
