Crafty Card Gallery: Just a Note of Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm here to share a quick card I created for the Crafty Card Gallery. For this month's challenge we had to come up with a thank you card.   
I started with a folded 3"x6" piece of cardstock as my base and cut a piece of typewriter cardstock slightly smaller than the base of the card.


I  dug through my mass collection of scraps and then cut various sizes of cardstock which I adhered to the bottom half of the card. The vintage typewriter is a digital image I found online and can't remember where I found it. Just do a google/bing search for vintage typewriters and there's a ton of images out there. 


I printed and then fussy cut the the typewriter out, used a little chalk ink to give it an old look. I also cut a slit in the typewriter so I cut add the "Just a note of thanks!"(printed off the computer) in and make it look like it was actually typed out. I finished off the card with two little hand cut banners, button, sequin and a dew drop. 
The hardest thing about this card is the fussy cutting. :-) If you have any questions please let me know.


Thanks for stopping by, hope your Sunday is wonderful and enjoy creating!

Typewriters and Owls


Hi everyone! I'm back and have a couple of get well cards I created. I used a 6"x6" cardstock base which I folded in half to give me a 3x6" card. These little cards fit into a 3 5/8" x 6 1/2" envelope easily...plus they are inexpensive. I'm all about crafting on a dime too. :-)
The little owl I created using my own owl template. I just added bits of scrapbook paper, punch out and embossed the "belly", typed up a sentiment on the computer and the "buttons" are from a punch out sheet from K & Company.  Done!!! How easy is that???


Next cards I used a typewriter rubber stamp from Unity Stamps. I'm not sure what set they come from since I won a bag of 50 rubber stamps from Unity and was just a mix???


Again I just added scraps of scrapbook paper, stamped the typewriter image on cardstock and fussy cut out.


I printed a get well soon sentiment from the computer and fit into the small slit I cut in the top of the typewriter. Super cute, super fun and super quick!!!


Thanks for stopping by, have an awesome day and enjoy creating!!!
