My new catalog order came in Friday! I was so excited to hear that doorbell ring that I tore open the door and there it was.. The brown box!!

Yes, Molly was right..the time had come for me to hibernate and play with all my new stamps! But which set do I use first? There was too much to choose from! I could not make up my mind, so I decided that I would make a card with 3 of my favorite stamps using 2 of the new in-colors.

These are 3 of my favorite:

Unfortunately I didn’t have time for a video tutorial (I’m still a beginner and for me that means it takes almost a whole day to film & crop) and I just wanted to play! Here are the dimensions & supplies used. Thank you for stopping by Cards By Sandy. I hope you enjoy this project!
