Ever make a card and think: “Nailed it!”?

Here is my video showing you how I created this card:

    Hi, CZ –
    I’m so impressed at this release! I just love it. I did not get the label maker sentiments (or the die) but now that I have seen it in action in a few of these hop cards, I am rethinking that decision. I like that I would not have to emboss a sentiment and I like the very retro look of it. I did not have the funds… because I got “the bundle” (something I almost never do!!). I adore your card and appreciate the CAS look of many of your cards!

    Yes, I get nervous (too) for a big stamp – esp one like the one you used w/ lots of solid area.

    I think you got a threefer, not a twofer… The outline on your watercolor paper could create a third card, esp if you had gone to the edge with your painting.

    I could tell how delighted you were with card #1. It came through loud and clear. Glad your “booper” is working again, so to speak. Sorry if that is too personal a comment. 😂

    I love that feeling you get when all the stars align and my card turns out better than I imagined! I love both of your cards! Just a question, wouldn’t the Press n Seal hold all the pieces negating the need for the tape? I haven’t really used it much so I could be wrong. I know that when I tried to get the pieces off it was somewhat of a battle for me!

    Love this card so much! I had to buy the die. I tried your post it tape trick and it worked. Then I tried stamping the die itself and cutting it out for the base. It seemed to work better. At least the base was sturdier. Not sure that it was much faster though.
