Hello! So the fun thing about selling your stash of stamps and dies is that you have some money to buy new stamps and dies. Actually, I don't think I need too many dies any more. Maybe a couple that are still on my wish list but I think I have become more of a CAS and one layer card maker. It's just simpler and way easier to mail. I think too that I need to be more selective when I buy stamps. I don't wanna have a crazy huge stash anymore.
I got a chance to purchase a couple of stamp sets from Altenew. I wanted a set called Doctors Rule because soon I'll have some cousins becoming doctors. So hopefully, this set will come in handy. I ordered this set directly from the Altenew website and it took 5 business days and a weekend for them to actually mail it out. I know the weekend doesn't count but when you're anxiously waiting for a new stamp set, it can seem like forever. I probably would order their stamps else where next time since I'm a little impatient.
I made this really CAS card. I stamped the sentiment in tuxedo black but also went over it again with my black copic multiliner so it looks nice and dark. The stethoscope was heat embossed in gold. Then I just rounded the bottom corners.
This is the inside where I added a gift card holder (die from MFT). I also embossed the top sentiment in gold and added the smaller sentiment in black.
I still have some stamps/dies to sell. See my posts HERE and HERE. I actually haven't had much time to craft because I was busy trying to get packages out and going to the post office almost daily but now it has slowed down again. So if you're interested in anything, email me. Yesterday, I actually finished making 6 cards! I made 2 of these doctor cards. I'll share the other 4 some time this week.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

I dare not check out another stamp company, I've just got too many. Need to destash but it's sooo hard to pick which ones to let go and which ones to keep. hahaha.. But like you said the good thing about that is getting to buy some new stuff. I just spent a bundle on the Misti so I think I'll wait for a while before looking. :D Can't wait to see what you made!
