Morning readers,
I've a make to share with you today ....... In early June I placed an order for a set of Lisa Horton stamps from Craftstash in the U.K., my order arrived on June 9th but without the stamp set I ordered, so I contacted the supplier. They were most apologetic and mailed another set out on June 10th .... after two weeks these had not arrived either!! I contacted them again suggesting perhaps a refund, a lovely lady there suggested that she would like for me to accept a third mailing ... after all, what were the chances they would go astray again and (on June 29th) she mailed them out again, they arrived on July 2nd - Woo Hoo! I am therefore delighted to thank Bryony and to break the seal on the long awaited stash!

Hi Kathy, Your card is just lovely, thanks for sharing with us at CraftyCatz this week.xx
A great stamp. You reminded me I have the cat and dog (without the Christmas hats) in my stash. Need to look them out. Thanks for joining Aud sentiments challenge. Elaine
Well, the new stamps were worth waiting for Kathy as they make a great background to the pretty silhouette flower and your cute cate looks great with his glittery red Santa hat and the matting and layering on to kraft card complements it perfectly. x
Good customer service from Craft Stash. Love the card you made with your long-awaited stamps.
Fab Christmas Kitty too.
Hugs, Sarn xxx

Oh my goodness, that is so unfortunate about your stamp set! I'm so glad Craftstash resolved it for you - I have always had a great experience with them too. I wonder where all the missing sets ended up?! Super Christmas card - that kitty is so cute! Thanks for playing along with us at AAA Cards!
What a cute kitty and a fantastic card design. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards, hope to see you join in with future challenges too. Stay safe and keep crafting!
Great CAS design! Thanks for your wonderful B'day card submission to our challenge at A Place to Start!
