Fresh Squeezed Stamps: A Shopping Celebration

It's my day to post over at the Fresh Squeezed Stamps blog.  I was pondering what to do for this post about the same time as I was pondering a birthday card to go with an Amazon gift card.  I remembered the shopping cart stamp in Fresh Squeezed's Breath of Fresh Flair set.  I love coordinating my greeting cards with gift cards - and this was a perfect match!


I know this is a slightly different photo angle for me.  I discovered that it is very hard to get a picture without strange reflections on the gift card!!
I cut the gift card pocket and then added an edging with Background Check.  This simple diagonal striped border is one of my basic go-to stamps.  It's also very nice down the side of a card with a bit of twine - like I did on my very first post for Fresh Squeezed Stamps.  I love that I can create a fresh and open border in any ink color that I like.  The sentiment comes from You Said It, Sister.
Next week is a fun week over at Fresh Squeezed Stamps - a spring cleaning event!  Be sure to watch their blog for details and I'll be back on Tuesday with a little peek!
