I can't remember which collection the backing paper is from but the downloads are primarily designed for digital scrapbooking but I've reduced the file size and printed them - they all print square.

Green ribbon from Hobbycraft bargain bin (it was wired but took that out!). Welcome house stamp another bargain from The Range - 99p and coloured with watercolour pencils and a bit of chalking around the edge. Sentiment from (wait for it!) the mini alphabet stamps for 99p at The Range - I think Dovecraft.

The sentiment was not supposed to be so wonky - I held all the stamps together to form the word and obviously did not hold them quite as straight as I thought but I think it turned out ok!!

I'm quite liking stamping at the moment - made some other cards but not photographed them yet - so they will be later in the week!

Its lovely. Do you get an extra filip when you know its cost so much less to make but looks just as good?
I think I would

lovely card i brought 2 sets of those alphabet stamps from the range they are really good and the demonstator showed me a good tip putting elastic band around the stamps of the word you want so you can ink and stamp them all at once in a straight line it works really well.
