Good Morning! Yesterday's post I shared with you the super fun super practical "gift" made with love…and today I am sharing with you a post with the card that I made to go with it!
My Mom was the BEST and she always said…."It's all about the presentation….it's all about the thought…it make no different about the cost…it's all about the thought"…and to me – these 2 do the trick and I know that my Mom would love these!
The "star" of this car is from the fun Cheerful Critters Stamp Set and it was given to me by my wonderful upline, Mary Fish. This is such a cute set and when you go….."OUTSIDE of the BOX" – there are many, many ideas….I just love it!
To add to the Top Note Box of goodies, I made a fun notecard that was a bit "interactive" – well a simple button did the trick to prop the front of the card! I just adore the notecard and all I did was score it at 1 1/2" and gave it a good….crisp bone fold to "prop" my little guy up!
You have heard me say before…but it is well worth saying again – I LOVE OUR BLENDABILITIES….and I think that it is SUPER DUPER that Stampin' Up! is offering them as a freebie with Sale-a-bration…..please click here to ask me more about any details you might need!
The colors I used were….light Crumb Cake, Medium Cherry Cobbler, Ivory & Blush Skin Tone…I just adore how easy they make US LOOK GREAT! I am no way an artist, but I find that these markers are fantastic!
Pulling the super fun Stacked with Loved DSP Stack was a key "fun factor" and oh so easy to pull this fun together! I forgot to talk about the sentiment – It is from the A Dozen Thoughts Stamp Set….one of my all time favorites…plus the help of the decorative dots embossing folder added interest and depth.
Because this sentiment is too long for my space, I simply "masked off" the pieces I needed and with the help of my stamp -a-ma -jig….the magic happened! To me, that is the BEST piece of "plastic" one could have to make a great card!
This is a fun and different twist to a card! There still is plenty of room to write a not above the "button" and you also have the back of the note card!
Does this make you smile? I have more to share with you this week with this stamp set…it is just too darn cute! Please let me know what you think?!?! I must admit, when the catalog came out I was on the fence with it but I just love it!
Let's all have a great day and hopefully this little gut made you smile!! Stampin' hugs!
p.s. – Here is a tip…because the Blendabilities bleed through your card stock (this is totally normal) – I adhered another piece of whisper white to the "critter" before I did my quick fussy cut out of him…
also – if you do not want to use a button because of "bulk" when mailing, simply put a rectangle and stamp a sentiment popped up with a stampin dimensional to make the easel card work. (If your confused, email me)
Adorable and so clever Susan. Hope you are feeling better each day! ~Blessings
Super cute! Your Mom was so right, cost DOES NOT matter! I will take s homemade gift from the heart and hand before a purchased gift! I keep these very special gifts and cards.
This is ADORABLE!! It really does make me smile!! Hope you are feeling better and better! Have a great weekend!!
Clever card , Susan! It’s a great companion to the treat box. I’ ve never considered making a notecard (or an A2 card for that matter) into an easel card, but it’s very simple. Thanks for the idea! You are the best!!
Can we say ADORABLE??? Oh my goodness, this is darling! I loved the box, but I love this card even more. I think this is the cutest stamp set and you have shown it’s cuteness so well here Susan. Your Mom is right (but then aren’t Mom’s always right?) I am always searching for quick and easy and different layouts. This one is perfect. I’m sharing this one for sure! Into my “great cards” folder it goes. And, I hope you are feeling better and stronger every day. I love your posts. Always so UP,…even if you’re not. Hugs!
Brilliant! I so love this card. I made my very first easel card last week and I can’t wait to try this with a note card. This will be so awesome as I would surely love to make these for every one who helped and is helping me while my Husband was so sick. And, we may have to go thru another heart surgery soon so I would love to make these to let everyone know that they truly did and do “you made my day”.
I so hope you are doing better. Pretty soon your fur babies will have a hard time keeping up to you!!! =) Hang in there!
Blessings!
A simple smile, heck no, one huge goofy grin was on my face when I clicked on plus a little chuckle! Your coloring is super! I like this little guy, I am not sure about the other two in the set. I love the card even without the little guy but the addition of it – I guess er really can’t tell if it is a boy or girl – the easel card makes it the best! I guess I could make my own sayings up with the chick – Have an Egg-xelent day! for example! Anyway, this is just so cute!
