I think we all get so wrapped up into getting new *stuff* — but what about all those old stamps we bought and once JUST LOVED!What happened to them? Today we are going to dig deep into our cabinets and pull out a stamp that we once truly loved and just haven’t touched in ages. Let’s make those old stamps shine again!!!As an alternative,if you MUST use a newer stamp (LOL!), then make sure you useSOMETHING OLD on your card that you once loved– DP,embellishment, etc. (OK, you can even go for an old vintage look if you like!) Let’s show off some of our old favorites, whatever they might be!!!Cant wait to see what you doand, as always, try to keep it simple.Most importantly have fun!!!

Our Stamp Simply Team is smaller today, what with vacations andallthat summer entails!!! But aren’t they FABULOUS!!! Thank you girls!!! Much appreciated!!!

And heres my card:

This is a stamp I’ve had for years, fairly large, by PSX, purchased from JoAnns. I used the Long Rectangle Nestabilities to cut off only a portion (just a tad over 1/2) of the image. I guess I’m still in a *white* mood from last week and preferred more white to show — so NOT true!!! In all reality, I made a major coloringmistakeon theleft side of this image,so rather than trash it, I just used my Nesties to cut and emboss that which was still OK — how’s that for a save!!! Here’s my Copic colors:

And by showing you these I am by no means trying to say that these are any fabulous color combinations — I am lacking in certain colors and need to do some shopping real soon!!! But, they are what I used on this card.

HereI’d liketo show you a bit of subtle detail that really adds a nice touch IRL. I embossed 5 lines on my Mini Scor-It, each 1/4″ apart. That gives you a 1″ embossed area, the same width as the ribbon.

• Stamps: Tulips by PSX from JoAnn Fabric
• Paper: PTI White
• Ink: Brilliance Black, Copics to Color
• Accessories: May Arts Sheer Ribbon, Long Rectangle Nestabilities by Spellbinders, Scor-It Mini
