Share The Love: My Friend Typewriter Card (2 of 3)

Yesterday, I posted the first of three cards I made using the exclusive Share The Love stamp set. (You can see that post HERE.) Today, I am sharing my second card which features another “retro” machine: a typewriter. I put retro in quotes because it just doesn’t seem right to call it that, but my 15 year of daughter would say it is true!

As I mentioned yesterday, the Georgie paper is not just for babies! The patterns have a great geometrical retro feel that is perfectly paired with this stamp set.

The typewriter was stamped in whisper ink on white cardstock then trimmed out. To add a pop of color, I stamped the typewriter again on yellow B&T (printed) paper and trimmed out just the paper and adhered it on the typewriter image. Foam tape adds some dimention and a couple grey gems finish the card off.

The Share The Love stamp set is fully loaded with all these images:

Just a Quick Note…

Who do you know that would enjoy a quick note from you? Does someone have a birthday coming up or about to transition to a new phase of their life? Or maybe you are just feeling the need to connect and let them know you are thinking of them.

Regardless of the reason, April’s stamp of the month will say what needs to be said. Along with phrases for just about any occasion, it includes a classic typewriter and pointing hand.

The vintage look of this card is achieved by combining the old-fashioned typewriter stamped image with the neutral prints from the Yuletide Carol papers. Yes, I used Christmas paper for this card!

Since the focal point of this card is a stamped image, it needed variety in dimension and texture. I dimension by using 3D foam tape under the typewriter and adding baker’s twine and triangle studs.
