Hello Friends, Thought I would stop in to share a quick card that I designed for my nephew. The papers from the BasicGrey Serenade collection are perfect for a 20 year old boy. I thought the background paper looks liked a journey that life can take you. This beautiful hand written sentiment stamp is from Simon Says Stamp. |
We always give the nieces and nephews money and usually I tape it on the bottom of a cracker box or something silly … then wrap it. Decided to turn over a new leaf and do something different. |
To get the shape of the pocket I used this die cut from Spellbinders….the same on that’s on the front of the card & the hearts are from SB too. The letters are stickers from the BasicGrey Serenade collection. |
Just a little distress ink can add so much. |
I love the way the ink enhances the paper. |
I love this die from Simon Says Stamp!! Add a little ink to the die and it will really enhance your card…any card! See you Monday 🙂 Hugs, KathyCARD SUPPLIES: |

Beautiful card Kathy!! Love the circle border die, and the faux stitching goes perfectly with the stitched ribbon!

Absolutely super the way the pocket echoes the front of the card & I love the way you use that die. The blue edging for the heart accents the map beautifully too.
A lovely lot of thought for a twenty-year old.
