I finally got some time to get a couple cards made, both using new stamps that arrived in the last month. The first is one I need to send out tomorrow. A friend from church invited Tracy and me to the Rochester Philharmonic concert last night. It was wonderful, and six of us enjoyed dinner at a new restaurant in our neighborhood beforehand. I purchased the Mama Elephant "Sentimental Borders" after seeing this card by Laura Basson. Mine's a close case of that card, but more subdued in keeping with a note for a guy.
I have to admit I don't find it easy to line up those borders to create a background, but I do like the effect once it's done. The die cut is Papertrey Ink's "Wonderful Words: Thank You." The card is one from Memory Box. I love the color and the fact that the inside is white.
The next card uses the new set from Papertrey Ink called "Songbirds." I die cut a lot of different images from the set, but only used one on the first card. You'll be seeing a lot of this set. I just love the folk art birds!
The sentiment is from one of my most frequently used sets, "Stylish Sentiments: Birthday" by Papertrey. Another Memory Box card, Rustic White cardstock edged with a narrow strip of Canyon Clay cardstock. Definitely a CAS card!
