One of the main things I love about Stampin’ Up! is the friendships I have made. And the products are a close second. Today’s card is a fun and quirky way of saying Thank You and showing Love using one of the Funny and Whimsical stamp sets.
Stamps
This adorable typewriter is from the Forever Friendship stamp set. It has fun images with witty sentiments as well as this Thank You shared with Love in the shape of the heart. Here is a closer view of the typewriter.
Is that not the sweetest little included sentiment? Sadly the typewriter may seem antique to the younger generations now. (Maybe even to ones who are middle aged now! YIKES!!) Regardless, it is a fun image and a very sweet way of saying Thank You to someone.
Paper
If you noticed the paper the typewriter is stamped on is a bit darker than usual, that is because it is a piece of DSP. Sometimes I remember that it is OK to stamp on the DSP, and I always love the results. This is a piece from the Sun Prints Designer Series paper. As is the Navy and White speckled piece. Night of Navy and Basic White are a combination that you cannot go wrong with. They give a very crisp and clean look.
Dies and Embellishments
In place of a bit of bling or different embellishments, I used Dies and Ribbon for the Pop of extra on this card. The two heart Dies are from the Celebration Tags Die set. This is one that is so fun and handy to have. If you remember a card I did a few weeks ago with a gift card holder on the front, then you saw one of the tags. You can see that card HERE
In the second photo you can see the details on the White heart with the stitching on the inside. The larger blue one is the same, it just doesn’t show well in the photo. Layering the hearts was not quite enough of a finish when I realized I needed to add some Sahara Sand. Out came the Sahara Sand and Old Olive Ribbon Combo. These cotton ribbons make beautiful bows! So a small bow sandwiched between the two hearts was the finish. And they are not raised when applied to the card to keep them from being thicker than they already are. It could still be mailed easily if you are careful of the orientation of this layer when putting in the envelope.
