Hi friends. Vera here. This past weekend I was in the mood of organizing my stash and as I am going through all the stamps that I have, it made me realized that I have so many great sets that deserved to be used more than just once or twice. I am pretty good at only keeping sets that I truly love. If it’s no longer giving me joy, I give them away. There are only a few companies that I keep most of their sets. Including The Ton. I still have many of the sets I have of The Ton. Not because I am designing for The Ton, but because I love the sets. Simple as that. And, I promised myself to always take the time to show love for older sets.

With that in mind, today I am showcasing an older but beautiful set called Gardenia Wishes.

I started by stamping the image on bottom corner of the card base using Hot Tourmaline. Then I stamped the image again on white cardstock, fussy cut it and adhere to card base with foam adhesive. Colored the image with Copic markers.

Once done I stamped and heat embossed one of the sentiment from Large Floral Peony set. Finished by adding some mix size enamel dots.

It sure gives me certain satisfaction at showing love to some older sets. We all have many sets in our stash that we just love. Let’s show them some love. Let’s start a trend of playing and showing older sets some love, shall we? I hope you enjoy today’s set and I hope I also inspire you to go through your stash and get creative with older stuff. Have a beautiful day and try to stay cool as I know many of us are dealing with crazy heat. Till next time.
