Thinking of you

Hi everyone!

I did a "crafty challenge calendar" for myself this year😊 So it's like an advent calendar - I have about 24 paper bags where I added some dies, stencils, embossing folders and stamps that I haven't used much or at all (new ones and ones I just have forgotten). I tried to mix the stuff so I really don't know what's in which bag. Then I just randomly take one of the bags when I have the time and try to create something with the stuff it includes. And no, I don't need to use all of them 😄

Here is the first card I made (you can find the contents of the bag 1 later on this post). I really got inspired by this beautiful Katherine stamp by Prima Marketing and even dug out my Derwent Inktense pencils that I haven't used for a long time either. The base of the card is stamped with a Carabelle Studio background stamp.

 
 
Contents of the bag 1:

- Another beautiful lady stamp (if you recognise the manufacturer, please let me know)
