Cheer Up Buttercup


Have you ever looked through one of the catalogs and not really even noticed a particular stamp set?  That’s what happened initially to me with the Hardwood background stamp.  It’s not that I had a negative response to the stamp, I just had no feelings about it one way or the other, certainly a stamp I could live with out.  Then one day I had extra hostess dollars to spend, so I decided to order it.  Well, now I must confess that this is a really nice stamp and one that I can see everyone using.  From the photo in the Occasions catalog, I thought the stamp was a smaller stamp, not the full background stamp it is.  I stamped the Hardwood background on Baked Brown Sugar card stock and used the Triangle punch to cut “Dog ear” notches along the top edge of the stamped image.  Next I cut the cardstock into strips following the lines of the stamped image.  I reassembled those strips onto Pool Party background, attached grass made with the fringe scissors and added some daffodils made from the Boho Blossoms Punch.
