CASology #23 and CASual Fridays #81







I've got a card for this week's CASology #23, where the cue word is Gift.  I immediately thought of a wooden stamp that I got 2 years ago, when I first discovered stamping.


The entire row of presents is on one long border stamp.  Makes it a snap to line up.  I stamped two of the gifts onto scrap paper, and fussy cut them, and popped them up with dimensional adhesive.  It's hard to see, but I used lots of stickles, too.  I used Background Basics Super Stripes to create the striped background on my card base.  I used my stamp press, which has grid lines, which made those stripes easy to space.

I am also entering this card into this week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge to use a knot.


Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Gift Border by Carolee Jones, PTI Mixed Messages, PTI Background Basics Super Stripes
Paper:  PTI White, Royal Velvet
Ink:  PTI Royal Velvet, Winter Wisteria
Other:  Tiny Tags Die, Canvas & Linen Impression Plate, Winter Wisteria Saddle Stitch Ribbon


Thanks for Visiting
