my new toy!

So I had this huge box of library index cards I thrifted long ago that I didn't know what to do with until I saw these cute rubber stamps last week, then just like that my crafting mojo started kicking in.

Well, they came in the mail the other day and I just adore them!
Joann's had some sale on their ink pads and I got few in different colours.

My favorite is this birdcage; the index cards with my short note to the buyer will go in these... cute no?

These are just regular brown kraft paper I use for filler in my packages.  Stamped randomly with this cute doily stamp using a white ink and voila! an elegant gift wrap for almost any occassion.


With the holiday season fast approaching I thought it’s time to step it up a little in the packaging department.
