My new stamp set...

I got a new stamp set!!! Yep...I got Green Thumb from Papertrey!!! Woohoo! I am loving it! I also got a new to me punch from SU! I had to put it to use right away!

I cased this card. Loved the design.

Then I thought I'd post how I did the little sentiment since I don't have a word window punch (yet). Here's my mini tutorial:








I punched the sentiment out using a flower.












Then I trimmed it.










And trimmed it more...


















Then I punched out a background paper with a larger flower punch.










And trimmed it too!















I glued the sentiment onto the background piece.











Then I used the large punch again as my trimmer.

And I ended up with it exactly the way I wanted it.
