UHM: Stamp, Color, & Send Some Flowers

I dug this swap out of my archives.” I hosted it a few years ago In the spring & thought that even though it’s fall, it’d be fine to host it because flowers can bring happiness all year round. 🌸🌻.

There is just something relaxing about stamping images, coloring them and then making them into nice cards to share with friends - to brighten their day. [It reminds me of all the adult coloring books on the market these days.

The card you make is not for your partner to use, but rather for them to read and enjoy because you will have written a nice note for them inside and on the actual card (not on a separate piece of paper).

So, here is what we will do:

• Choose 1 (or more) flower themed rubber stamps from your collection (at least 1 stamp should be a design that you can color in). It's optional if you want to stamp a sentiment on either the outside or inside of your card.
• Stamp and color, and adhere to a background layer (or layers). Adding other embellishments is optional.
• Attach it to a folded card.
• Write a note to your partner on the inside of the card. (Please write more than just "here is the swap, hope you like it." Tell a little about what’s happening in your world today.
• Put the card inside an envelope.
• Stamp a few flower images on the envelope (it's optional if you want to color these).
• Put on proper postage.
• Send to your partner.

The swap icon is a card I made. I got the watering can stamp for $1.00 on consignment at a local rubberstamp store. You know how I love a good bargain! LOL :)
