Hello and Welcome!
Wow! Who can believe it's already Thursday!? This week is flying by and having that extra weekend day for Memorial Day really threw me for a loop. I thought it was Monday, but it was already Tuesday (i.e. I missed my Tuesday post)...and now it's already Thursday! My little is officially off for summer, so we have been trying to enjoy some outdoor time before the Texas heat takes over! She was only three days a week for preschool this year, but I quickly realized how much I was able to get done in those few days! Now card-making is being done late into the night as I prepare for my first ever stamp class...YEAH!!!
So I thought today's card was pretty perfect as we roll into summer which hopefully means a glass of wine (or two) enjoying a gorgeous Texas sunset :)
And here is today's project...
The Half Full is a new addition to my stamping collection and I am already a huge fan. I just think it will come in hand for so many occasions. I finished off some wine tags for a customer a few weeks ago with this set and I love how they came out. I love the simplicity of the set, so I'm glad I picked it up before we had to say goodbye.
The background leaves are from the new Magnolia Memory Die set which will be released staring on June 4th, 2019. I think this goes to show the versatility of that set as well. I always find it good to have several different leaf shapes in my stash of die-cut tools. The wine bottle was fussy-cut after being stamped and this is a technique that I find myself using more and more.
