Happy HUMP day and I think that I have a card for you today that you are really going to like! I was doing the happy dance with this bundle, Sealed with Love but I admit, I like the framelits better than the stamp set.
I feel like the framelits can go a long way throughout the year but this is one…that I would probably go for the bundle to save the 10% and you know that the stamps would be perfect for this special day that is right around the corner!
I can remember when the preview of this catalog came out and I saw that tiny envelope….SOLD – on its way to Randall Lane as I have been itchin’ to do a card with little envelopes ever since I watched a video of Jennifer McGuire’s several years ago! I adore her style and I was super happy to make a valentine with this envelope!
I think that this is a great one for a guy using the Basic Gray and the fun and subtle DSP, A Little Foxy worked perfect. The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes and then POPPED out with the Classic Label Punch….win – win all the way around!
I had fun with the paper I chose today! I wanted to make something that I thought would be bit toned down from the traditional Valentines Paper and I will say…I think that it is FUN! I am thrilled that Stampin’ Up! is continuing to come out with the 6 X 6 paper stacks as I think that they are soooo easy to work with!
You can actually use the framelit that looks like a note and actually write a message and tuck it in! I used a simple glue dot to seal each of the little envelopes! Aren’t they soooooooo cute!. I just think that it doesn’t get any cuter than this….what do you think!?!?!
This special day will be here in a jif…..I hope that you can see how this style of a card would be a fun one to make and also one that is great in using up scraps of paper! I just LOVE to play that personal game with myself, “SEE HOW MANY SCRAPS YOU CAN USE TODAY” – Funny it is the silly things that make me roll!
Can’t wait to see you tomorrow…..you will LOVE IT!!!! (I know you too well) 😀
This is bugging me that all the comments disappeared. I loved this card with the little envelopes and I want to make the envelopes for several people who celebrate a combination St. Patrick’s Day/birthday like I do. Can someone tell me the size of these little guys? I can’t see me purchasing those framelits so will just cut and fold but I need an idea of the size. But, then again I could waste a bunch of scraps trying to come up with the perfect size. I think Mr. Toad was too big to pop out of these little envelopes as I thought that would have been cute for a valentine but then I remembered I didn’t buy Mr. Toad either. Thanks Susan for reminding me about that paper stack, I think I still have that sheet but maybe I can make my own background heart paper. Whatever!
