Let's all have a GREAT week! I hope that everyone is coming off of a great weekend…mine was great – I had an Open House with 8 other Direct Selling Companies that was super fun….and my husband is making great progress as we mark his 1 month since his injury!
We both appreciate all of the great wishes we have received but I am here to tell you….being in a wheelchair for a month when you are used to being super active as really been an eye opener experience for both of us and he has the BEST attitude in the whole world so this card is for him! Just a couple more weeks until he can start to progress with therapy!
We both love yellow and the color of So Saffron is always soooo pleasing to your eye! I wanted to use a stamp set that I have not used in a while and since I am "guilty as charged" for not playing with the "real" washi tape…I thought using the Tape It Stamp Set would be a fun twist for this Monday!

Let's get to this super clean, crisp – fun card! John loves blue and I have been using Night of Navy so much for thank you cards for him to send – I thought Pacific Point would be a fun and fresh twist!
- This card is a regular A-2 card but scored at the 5 1/2" mark and then the white was cut 1/4" smaller…4 1/4" X 5 1/4"
- Because the type "A" stamper I am…out came the Stamp-a-ma–jig to make sure I had the placements of the "tape"…just right! (you could easily 'eye-ball it")…don't be afraid to overlap!
- Using a scrap piece of whisper white paper to stamp the "happy day" image from the Happy Day Stamp Set (dah!) and then pulling out my main man, Mr. Big Shot with the help of his friend Chalk Talk Framelits…the card is coming together! Isn't this a great stamp set!

- Threading a small piece of Pacific Point Grosgrain Ribbon and making a quick and simple "Susan knot"…an easy and perfect touch….BAM!
- Popping it up with Stampin' Dimensionals was the way to go to make it come front and center! I just love these little gems!
- The envelopes came to life with a bit of pizzazz with the help of the Subtles Designer Series Paper…love – LOVE all of the collections! It truly makes it sooooo easy to find the perfect finishing touch to your card! The Envelope Liner Framelits make the task of lining an envelope a breeze!

I know that there are times that it is hard to come off of a weekend and get back into the new week ahead but I hope that this card has brighten your day! Just think of all of the fun colors you could do with this!
I like having just 2 colors as the focal point….it really brings out the crispness of the card!
It wouldn't be right not to thank you for being soooo darn tootin Stampin' sweet in popping by my blog yesterday! I know that I am blessed to be a PAL and I always enjoy being Mary Fish's guest stamper…but I will say – WOW…..I hope that the are chocolates left in the store!

LOVE what you did with this layout….super cute card! Hope the Open House was a huge success!
Hi Susan, I first love the Pacific Blue and So Saffron. I though it was real washi tape. You stamp so perfectly!! Did you draw in the stitched lines? They mirror the ribbon. All your touches are so nice. I was able to get some cards in yesterday and feel so good about it. Happy Monday. 🙂
Love your card. So bright and cheery! This set is on my ‘wish list’ for next month. I can’t wait to get my hands on it. Thanks for sharing!
Like those colors but out of my box, so will have to try them together.. Have a great week.
Love your bright and cheery card! I had to laugh when you used the stamp-a-ma-jig on this! It amazes me how these stamps really do look like the washi tape stuff!
I wish you could have sent this to all of those who are responsible for the fed govt possible shut down. I am still on pins and needles awaiting to see about my husband’s job status. Maybe it would have brightened their day so they wouldn’t mess with us.
Love the colors…reminds me of my old sunroom. Your card is crisp and cheery..perfect for celebrating a husband on the mend.
It really looks like washi tape…great job!
BTW…Today was an especially Happy Monday! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
I wanted to share my CASE of your card… thanks so much for your inspiration! http://stampininthesun77.blogspot.com/2013/10/thinking-of-you-with-tape-it.html
