I added some Regal Rose dyed crochet trim and some Soft Suede ribbons and sponged the rest of the patterned paper. I used my Stampin'Up! Sizzix Big Shot to make the oval die and punched the leaves and flower next. Then I stamped the bird around and cut one out.  After that i attached all that and stamped the sentim

Rubber  - Rather than dump excess rubber from making stamps into a landfill Stampin' Up! donates it local parks in Kanab to use in playgrounds. They also donate it to charities like Courage Reins, a nonprofit organization that provides horseback riding therapy for physically or mentally challenged children. These organizations take the ground rubber and sell it for use in playgrounds and horse stables. Wood Blocks  - The wood blocks for our stamps are created from renewable resources with sustainable practices. They work with a tree farm in which maple trees are grown specifically for the purpose of harvesting wood. Card Stock & Paper  - The paper used as packing material in shipping boxes is 100% recycled.
