This card is substantially CASEd from a talented stamper and I PROMISE I made a note of the image but it has evaporated!! I pinned it! I know I did! The pinner’s black hole must have eaten it up. I changed the background dsp and a few other minor elements, but this design belongs to someone else.

And isn’t it cute? If you tweaked the colors a little more it would be an excellent man-card, but I think it’s reasonably gender-neutral as it is. When you put it together, poke a small hole on the right side of the DSP and thread the Bakers Twine through without cutting it off. Tie a bow, then drape the long tail across the card front and secure it. Your sentiment will cover that end, and your Petite Curly Label punches can go on dimensionals right over it.

Now go make a card – any card!!

And who wouldn’t want to make a call from one of these?

Feeling Sentimental and Pretty Petites SAB stamp sets

Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso card stock
First Edition Specialty DSP
Stampin’ Distress Tool
Linen Thread and Natural 7/16″ Trim
Petite Curly Label Punch (SAB)
Stampin’ Sponge

Feeling Sentimental was the Sale-a-bration set at the TOP of my list and I knew this was what I wanted to do with it. It has a great vintage look and that monochromatic scheme was shouting in my head. (yes, it had to shout in my head because there are a LOT of voices going on there…)

I sponged the dickens out of the Very Vanilla pieces to give them some age, and even hit that fabulous new Natural 7/16″ trim with a little Crumb Cake ink. The new Stampin’ Distress tool from the Spring Catalog is an AWESOME addition to your toolbox – saves your fingernails (and your fingers – anyone else hit skin using Paper Snips to distress, or am I the only klutz?)

Sale-a-bration is coming January 22…have you made your wish-list?
