Good afternoon,
Today's project is something I made just for fun (I put some Chick-O-Sticks inside it). I couldn't wait to get my hands on the new Bitty Box & Envelope die for the Big Shot and I just love the new Ronald McDonald set.....it's the Very Thankful stamp set and I'm going to use it a bunch this year.
Did you notice the turtle is missing the little barrow with hearts? I decided to alter my stamp and I trimmed it. I attached the words "very thankful" to the side of the wood. I figured I would use the turtle more by itself.....isn't he cute? I may have to make a spinner card with him very soon!!
I used the brand new Perfect Details Texturz Plate for the background.
If you ordered a Ribbon Share, the ribbon arrived yesterday & I'm cutting & packaging as fast as I can. I expect every order should be mailed by Friday (but maybe sooner).
Gotta get back to cutting....see ya tomorrow!

So cute! Question for you: how come you cut off parts of the stamp you could use in other ways rather than just not inking that part when you don't want it? It seems like a permanent choice when there are other options - do you just do that when you are certain you won't want to stamp the whole thing? Just curious!

Great idea of customizing the turtle stamp. I will probably do the same when I get this set. The new texture plate looks good. I'm glad that I ordered it. By the way, it looks like your turtle has a naked (uncolored) tail.

Angie, there was supposed to be a "grin" at the end of my previous post but it got cut off. I meant my comment in a nice way.

Once you took the wagon away, now I see why I need this stamp! Thanks Angie! I totally think this is adorable.

This is so cute!!! Without much effort on your part, could you tell me what the dimensions are of the bitty box??? Like the matchbox?? I'm very curious before I purchase!!!

He is just so stinkin' cute!! And you are absolutely right - he would make an adorable spinner card. Can't wait to see it :)

I love the box. Does the envelopes that comes with it fit inside that box?? I will not get my order until next week as it takes over a week to get to Canada. I also ordered the Ronald McDonald set. Very Cute!!
