Hello

helloToday I have a card for you using two new products from the Occasions catalog that I used for the first time on this card!  The first one is the Arrows Textured Impressions embossing folder (#132187).  At first I refrained from buying this folder but after seeing it used to make so many cute cards on the internet, I wanted to purchase it!

The second new item is my sentiment.  It comes from the set Simply Celebrate (see below) and it can be purchased in either wood (133221) or clear (133224).  I only wanted the “hello” part of the stamp, not the part that says, please take a seat.  In order to do this, I put blue painters tape – I had some sitting right there on my craft table but any tape will work – over the part I didn’t want on my card.  I inked the stamp up and pulled off the tape before stamping.   Have you tried this technique before?

Simply CelebrateMy Crisp Cantaloupe twine is from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack, which is a Sale-a-bration freebie and one that you can get FREE with a $50 purchase!

Want to be able to make a quick and easy card?  I used the Happenings Simply Created Card Kit and make this card in about five minutes!!!  It comes with everything that you see below.  I used some Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop up the two banners and adhered the white twine (can you see the pretty silver in it??) with glue dots to the silver button.

My mom has been sick recently so I decided to make this a get well card.  My sentiment comes from the set A Dozen Thoughts (wood #131056  clear #131059).  The sentiment actually say,  better get better, but I wanted my card to just say, get better.  So I covered the first “better” with some tape, added ink with my Strawberry Slush stamp pad, took the tape off and stamped on the white banner!  Easy!
