Hello stamping friends! I’m back with another Throwback Thursday card. I was digging in my box o’ cards this morning, and came up with this one. I loved the Kindness Matters stamp set when it was in our catalogue, and smiled when I saw this card.
Looking at it, there is very little on the card that is current. The base is Baja Breeze, which has been retired for 5 years at this point. The other cardstock is Cherry Cobbler and Chocolate Chips which are still current. Combined with a similar blue, they still make a great colour combo. The embossing folder that we used for the centre oval, along with the punch that created it are both long gone. The same goes for the punch that created the ruffled edges (my pathetic memory can pull out the name of the punch!) However, the linen thread and pearls are still available – probably because they are a staple in card making.
The layout is one that could easily be recreated, and the card is a unique size (3″x5-1/2″). It would easily fit inside a small cheque envelope. The stamped images were all done with markers, and I don’t think I huffed on them quite enough because they are fainter than I would like. It’s amazing what practice will bring.
Make sure you take advantage of my Wendy’s Little Inklings Ink & Paper sale. It is ONLY available through me, and only until March 31st. Orders must be placed by e-mail, message, text or phone. Online orders do not qualify, because I have no way of editing your card before you check out. I can ship across Canada, so distance isn’t an issue!

Come by between 1-3 or 7-9 and see projects and products from both the Sale-a-Bration and Occasions catalogues. It’s your last chance to place your order and receive free Sale-a-Bration goodies.

In the meantime, if you are looking to place an Order Online, remember to add the March Host Code to your $50+ online order. I’ll send you FREE Project Helper Guides at the end of the month.
