Reminder that today is the day for FREE Shipping with qualifying orders. This is always a welcome event, and I am ordering supplies for my Christmas cards. It is time to get those cuties set up to make. And if you shop with me, you will earn 1 Blue Star Rewards for each $50.00 you spend. So a doubly good thing.
Today’s card is a Thank You that I made for a class. It is quick and easy with a little bit of gate fold to go with it.
Stamps
The Forever Friendship stamp set is a simple set that I love. It is a little bit on the “Pun” side, with fun images to go along with those sentiments. But this typewriter is my favorite. There is something about the simplicity, or maybe the old fashion idea, of a typed note. And the Thank You included in the image is perfect for me. It is a one stamp and done focal layer.
Background
For a bit of a different look, I used the Clear Block D inked with Soft Sea Foam ink to create the background for the typewriter. Personally I like the mottled look that this gives. And the imperfections of the image are fine for me. If you prefer a more solid look, you can add more ink with a sponge or blending brush. By stamping the image in Black, it still pops from the light green.
Papers
The card base is Bermuda Bay with a layer of Soft Sea Foam. These colors were pulled from the DSP. It is the Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper. This print is a soft mix of a few colors and is a calm print. There are other colors mixed in if my choices do not suit you.
Fold
The fold used on this card is an offset gate fold card. It is one that I use occasionally and in both portrait or horizontal layout. This one is the Bermuda Bay cut to 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 and scored at 1 1/2 and 5 3/4. You could score them equally, but I like the different sizes for this horizontal look.
The Soft Sea Foam layers are cut to 5 1/4 X 2 1/2 and 5 1/4 X 1 1/4. And the DSP layers are cut to 5 X 2 1/4 and 5 x 1. The focal layers are square with the Bermuda Bay being 3 3/8 X 3 3/8 and White at 3 1/4 X 3 1/4.
