Your Gift is in the Bag!

Today's inspiration post features one of the new All Dressed Up launched this month.  I thought I would try something different this time... usually I make cards but I found a tutorial for a cute little gift bag on the Polkadoodles challenge site.  The image is My Little Flower girl and she's one of the new May releases and available at the All Dressed Up Etsy Store.
Now I have to tell you about a line of stamps I discovered.  The company is Printworks and they've got some fabulous stamps.  Not only stamps.. they carry inks, paper, ribbon, templates... tons of good stuff but I can't say enough about these stamps.  You can purchase them either mounted on a wood block or cling.  There's some images but I love, love, love the scripty sentiments.  I'm always on the hunt for the perfect sentiment and these are perfect.  I placed my order and had the stamps in no time at all.  Great communication and customer service too so be sure to check them out.Out of my new stash, I chose to use Your Gift is in the Bag which I thought went perfectly with the little gift bag.   I am so impressed with these stamps... deeply etched red rubber and they stamp clean and crisp.





Now, onto some snips of the new release... so cute!

Gorgeous! Love the sentiment too! I haven't forgot about you and the stamps, so tell me what your $$ limit is on postage so I know when to stop adding them to the box! hehe I need to know really as I am almost ready to mail them to you.
Love your cards and enjoying the humor.
