It is always lovely to receive a note in the mail and I made the below card with this thought in mind.

(Supplies:  Floral Paper by Amy Butler/K & Co, Grid Paper by Jillibean Soup, Border Die by Sizzix, Stamp by Hero Arts, Archival Ink by Ranger, Black Foam Squares by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L)

I used some left over scraps to create this card in minutes but I know when I send it off in the mail it will make some one’s day.

I lifted the border with black 3D foam squares to give the card some dimension but I wanted the card to have clean and simple lines so I only added a simple stamp to finish it off.

It is so easy to brighten up some one’s day.

Hope everyone out there had a great weekend.   I spent the weekend with my nose in a book (loved, loved this book), lounging by the “pool”.  LOL

I have another page to share today. I dug into my stash for this one – some paper from Prima from 2006 or 2007(?) and the last labels from a package of Martha Stewart labels.  (Don’t you just love finishing a package of embellishements off?)

To enhance the background I stamped this stamp randomly over the paper with some of this yellow paint.

(Foam letters are by American Crafts.   Ribbon by Basic Grey.)

Pretty quick to put together – I like to keep things pretty simple for a quick moment in time like this.

Which one is your fave?

Choice 1

Choice 2

Option 3

To create the embossing I used my Big Shot with the baby themed Textured Impressions (this one and this one).  Love these – especially when I know I am going to need to make a lot of something.
