Today's post is a fun and fresh card for my daughter! Earlier this week I shared with you that she had her wisdom teeth out….she is doing great with her cute little chubby cheeks but I will say she is getting a bit stir crazy being in the house!
I put this card by her bed so when she wakes up she will get a cute treat from her Mom and Dad! Everyone likes going to the movies and being that it is nice in dark in a theater….who cares about her cute cheeks!
Well…..here you go with the scoop!!! I was tickled with how this turned out and just think of the endless possibilities you could do with a card like this…..a birthday…..when someone has a baby – a great way to give the siblings an outing….a thank you for a dog sitter….the ideas can go on and on and the color combinations can be super fun!
The stamps are from the super set called, That's The Ticket and the best thing is we have a punch, the Ticket Duo Punch that makes this an easy-peasy job!!! This is a WOOT-WOOT…how easy!!! TIP ALERT – on the more "solid" ticket stamp, use the Sanding Block slightly back and forth to allow the ink to give you maximum coverage!
There is simply no "magic" on how to do this…just do it! I did take the tickets off the edge (sides) of the whisper white and then trimmed it….so much easier than cutting the tickets before!
I did have a bit of a gap – so "ribbon to the rescue" , this is a discontinued grosgrain ribbon in Marina Mist ( I miss this ribbon….just love grosgrain) was the perfect fix! Making a "bow" in a different way using a In Color Dahlias was the perfect center to add a bit of bling!
The inside needed some tender love and attention! Using the simple, single word of SMILE will do the trick! This comes from the popular, Happy Day Stamp Set….an "A" list of mine! Tucking 3 of the tickets added that special touch and still left me plenty of room to write Hannah a note…..plus leaving her some "real" movie tickets!
Again, the envelope had a double-whammy treatment to make Hannah smile…( just think of how your mailman would feel) I added "real movie tickets" for her! The Polka Dot Parade paper is super fun on the outside of the envelope!
Another thing I love about this style of card is…..it is a GREAT way to use up scraps! We all know how many scraps of white paper we have!!! Stamp them out….punch them out….grab a baggie – and you will be good to go when you need a fun card/gift for someone!!!!
I hope that this card made you SMILE and I hope you know how much I appreciate your feedback, comments and support!

This is a fun card, so unique and colorful. What a way to send movie tickets. So clever.
What a great idea!! We all need ways to use up those little scraps. Thank you!!
Great way to make Hannah’s day. And a great idea to make other people’s days. Thanks for sharing.
Susan, I love, love everything about this card!
This is a great card and the possibilities are endless as to the receiver of this one:). Love the colors and like you, miss the grossgrain ribbon and a lot of the other ribbons.
This may be my favorite card! I thought it was DSP until I kept on reading. I can’t believe how gorgeous it looks. Blue is my favorite color and it looks fantastic with the different color blues and the greens! The envelope is great too. I’m glad your daughter is feeling a little bit better. I’ve been through that twice, with my two girls. Sometimes I think it hurts us more than them. Hope the rest of her summer is great. =)
Really adorable card and this solves my problem for today. Love your colors, but going to girly it up a little in color and ribbon, put a money pocket on the inside and send it off to Canada for a birthday. Quick and just right. Thanks so much.
I struggle with how to use the tickets stamps and punch, but I love how you used them here. A beautiful layout!
