Happy New Year to everyone. While my hubby watched the college bowl games, I spent time in my craft room (well except for TCU's game at the Rose Bowl, I did watch that)! My stamping to do list for the week includes six birthday cards for family and friends, more desk calendars, a sympathy card, a Texas Tues-Step card, which I think is tomorrow, and a card for another DeNami blog hop coming up this weekend! The benefit to you is that there will be a bunch of new creatiions to put on my blog for you to see! Woo Hoo! Let's get to the first one ...
On the Verve blog, I saw their brand new sketch, and my first thought was it is pretty cool but won't wok for me as I won't have that size envelope. And I try to create cards that I can actually send. So, I really didn't think anything else about it until ... yesterday, I was wrapping up Ethan's birthday gift to send (my step grandchild) and was considering whether to add a card or not. He is only turning 4 and so he doesn't really care about the card, but I usually make one for him anyway. The box I am wrapping in birthday paper and then wrapping in brown paper on top of that to be sent, and I got to thinking maybe I should just add a flat card that would be between the two papers. And that is when I remember the cool Verve sketch. So here is the result and then the sketch. Enjoy!
Recipe:
Stamps - Verve stamps from set called Birthday Bash
Ink - Versafine Black
Tools - Marvy Corner Rounder
Other - Red Rhinestones
I love this Verve set I got back before Christmas. I saw someone paper piece the balloons and it was too cute, so of course, that is exactly what I did on this card! The little rectangle where the sentiment and balloons are opens and inside I signed it from Papa & I.
See you tomorrow! Happy Stamping!
