summertime in seattle...


Summertime is Seattle.


This is a classic Seattle card:



sentiment by A Muse Art Stamps {now a•muse|studio}

Space Needle die by Savvy Stamps

card base by Impress Stamps


I have been really enjoying the new dies that I picked up from Impress...they are by Savvy and memory box...yet another local company.

My card is CAS but the Space Needle die gives it some life, dontcha think?!  I carefully trimmed down a glue dot to strategically add to the back of the needle to give it some umph.

I own well over 100+ A Muse wood mounted sentiments...I LOVE them....but this Seattle one is definitely one of my FAVs.  Here's how I store them:


I actually have 3 of those printer trays...LOVE them...I think I picked them up from a garage sale that Jennifer Pebbles had a long time ago.

So much to 'wow' at. Wow- how many sentiment stamps?! Super wow for the printer trays. And really very 'wow' ( superbly bad grammar!) for your card. The pink stripes are really delicious. Just love the simplicity yet punchy-ness of the card ( see- I have my own vocab now!!). To have 'local' craft manufacturers ?- jealous!! Have a great day!

I still have quite a few wood mount A Muse stamps. I really loved the ones designed by Missy Ballance.

That is a LOT of sentiment stamps, and a lot of A Muse - don't have any of them yet....I'm not sure we have enough space for all that. Your space must be pretty awesome. This card is great too, I love the base and how CAS it is!

Wow, this card speaks to me in so many ways, and I've never even been to the West Coast. I don't think Wisconsin has any identifying factors, perhaps one of those nasty looking cheeseheads?

Classic card Amy. Love it.

Check out your sentiment stamps...love how neat and organized they are. I have very few sentiment stamps actually. That's why I'm always using stickers. lol

haha, i love it! i used the space needle stamp at Impress during one of their stamp nights where you get to use all the ink and stamps you want, and they provide the dinner and door prizes. fun stuff, we should go sometime!

and i totally love that you picked that die... and i understand why you have so many sentiment stamps--it's cause they're awesome!

great card (you know i LOVE pink)!
