Old Stamps ~ New Inspiration

I have been organizing my stamps using some of the stamp storage that Jennifer McGuire has shown on her blog. As I am doing this, I am pulling out stamps that I have had since I first started making cards in 2006. Yes, I am a hoarder and do not usually let go of many things. I figure I will use it again later.

I have been wanting to order many of the new stamps out by Simon Says Stamp, Avery Elle, Hero Arts - just to name a few. My budget does not allow it right now so when I "rediscovered" these stamps, I decided to use my older stamps and apply new techniques!

Here is a birthday card for our daughter that I used one of my precious Hero Arts stamps. So this time around I used a flower die from PaperTrey Ink instead of coloring in the flower that is on the stamp and the hello die from Simon Says Stamp. I was not using dies back in 2006 :-)
