Brushed Wishes and Birthday Mischief

Are you in love with the brushed style writing that is so popular right now?  I am, and, I have to admit, I stink at it!  Oh yeah!  There's just something about the way you hold the pen that I can't seem to grasp.  Well, now I don't have to worry about it because Stampendous!® has taken care of it for me!  This week has been all about our beautiful new brushed sentiments and the brushed alphabet that's super cool.  For my card I've used Brushed Wishes Perfectly Clear™ Stamp Set along with the super cute House-Mouse® Designs Birthday Mischief Rubber Stamp.

Curios Collection

Stampendous® has a new cool stamp that debuted in the January 2018 catalog, our new Curio Rubber Stamps.  They're awesome stamps that are made with the same wonderful, gray, graphic rubber that our regular stamps use, but, their mounts are really cool, full-color, three-dimensional wood blocks that are fun to stamp with or just sit there looking cute.  I plan to collect them all so I can have them to stamp with or just look at for inspiration or a smile!  My card today uses CURIO Butterfly Stretch.
