Hi everyone! I'm easing into 2013 with one little old card:) I hadn't planned on taking so much time away from crafting but you know how that goes;) Now I'm slowly gaining traction at the craft table and really looking forward to a crafty year!
Now let's talk cards! I live in a household of men and boys, so most of the the Valentine's Day cards around here aren't your standard frou-frou pink and red;) I used one of the new sentiments from Lots of Love, and it was the perfect size to work with the typewriter cut file that I picked up from the Silhouette store. I love how the piece of paper comes out of the typewriter!
To create the texty background, I put all the letters and symbols from Fun with Letters onto a stamping block and stamped them with Versamark onto gray cardstock. Simple but fun! I hadn't planned on it initially, but I really love the gray/mint green combo!
Here's to lots more cards and posts in 2013! Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm looking forward to catching up on all the great stuff you've been working on too!
Mahalo and Aloha,
jj
