Today was another one of those days when I just couldn't wait to get home and stamp it up! When there are slow times at work, I actually daydream about certain cards I want to create. Shhhh, please don't tell my boss! :)
This card is a standard 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" card, but then I cut 1-1/2" off the bottom of the front fold. To make the circle cut outs, I've used the 1-3/8" & 1-1/2" punches.
The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set ~ "Special Messages" and I've stamped it with blue bayou. I've used Stampin' Up kraft cardstock for the base and layered the patterned paper with blue bayou. I decided to finish it off by zig-zag stitching around the layers with my Janome Sew Mini. Have I told you how much I *love* this little machine? It's so easy to operate! {Enabler Alert!} I heard they are on sale again at Hancock Fabrics! :)
I've decided that I need to start mailing out more of these cards I've been making. Who has a birthday coming up in the next month or so? I would love to send this card to YOU! :)
Tomorrow is FRIDAY already! I really do like my job, but still look forward to the weekends!
Thank you all for stopping by my blog today! Smiles 2 U! ~ Pam :)
