i met my friend lacey 3 years ago when we lived in the same apartment building and not only is she a great hairdresser, but a wonderful friend. she recently convinced me to get some highlights done (which was slightly terrifying) and i absolutely love them. and just the other night i enjoyed some hot cocoa ::with marshmallows:: out of my new mug emblazoned with ‘cat lover’ that she gave me just because. so, yeah, she rocks.
the card is technically a post card, so no scoring involved. i used some patterned paper scraps for the background & used my new Martha Stewart punch for the bottom. i used the same punch on a pre-made tag and then went over the pattern with Glossy Accents. i stamped & embossed the sentiment and layered some cardstock before adhering to the tag. i absolutely love how versatile those paper smooches stamps are!!!
the envelope was embellished with a paper rosette made with the same patterned paper as the card that was punched before scoring. when you punch a border on the strip you plan to use for the rosette, not only does it give it an extra pop, but it makes it way easier to score evenly by following the pattern. i would loooooove to get THIS scor-pal to help make that less of a pain, but i just can’t justify it right now. J sometimes, it’s good to have to be creative to be creative. haha!
thanks for stopping by!!!
materials used: Paper Smooches Chit Chat stamps, Martha Stewart punch, ZING white embossing powder, Paper Studio pre-made tag, black satin ribbon & PS cardstock.
