Well for those of you that know me….by nature I am not a "vintage gal" and I was honestly hesitant to get this Feeling Sentimental Stamp Set but then again…it was FREE and I thought -"What the heck…I'll give it a try!" I needed a masculine card for a dear friend and I put my thinking cap on and POOF….I actually love it!
I was first inspired by a fellow Pals demonstrator, Liz Hughes and my Upline, Mary Fish with this technique! I am SIMPLY BORING when it comes to "trying differnt techniques" but after seeing their videos I thought….what the heck – I'll try Clear Block Stampin! Not only did I like the results…it was fun – out of the box for me…and I think my card looks great….what do you think!?!?
I truly do love the Crumb Cake paper and matching envelopes….it always creates a soft and welcoming look and feel to your card!. I did ink up my clear blocks with the crumb cake ink and used Very Vanilla for my card stock! The sentiments and stamp was done in early espresso-(my favorite brown)
Two things that every single card has that I do….easy-peasy…..stampin dimensionals and lined envelopes – why? I love the POP and I love the finishing touch of class that it give to your envelope! I added the 1/4' stitched grosgrain ribbon to add a little flair and me being the "bow challenged" person I am…..well the simple knot works for me!
It is great to make a card for someone that you read the sentiment and it "speaks to you" – this is exactly what this did for me! I made this for my daughters riding trainer who always go above and beyond for myself and Hannah! The stamp set is called One in a Million and trust me – Tom is one in a million to us!
