Amazing Type!!

Once I saw the cute typewriter die from Sugar Pea Designs I was inspired to try this 
interactive card.... it seemed the perfect idea for a typewriter...


.... and if you pull the sheet of paper up....


I've used a die to cut the slit in the circular panel behind the typewriter but you can 
easily use a knife to do the same thing. I inked through a sun ray stencil onto the 
front of the circle and then worked out where the slit had to be.


This is the back view... as you can see the sheet of paper is thin card which has a strip of 
card added at the bottom to stop it coming all the way through from the back. 
I added foam tape around the rest of the panel so the moving card can slide more easily.


To add a subtle pattern to the card base I used a Typewriter background stamp in
 pale grey... a perfect match for this die!! :) A smattering of stars in silver and black 
and I called it done, I can add my message on the inside depending on the occasion :)

Thanks for stopping by :)

Love You Miss You Big Hugs Typewriter Card

Hi everyone, Taheerah here wishing you a happy Friday!

Continuing from my last post where I talked about my love of vintage/retro stuff, today's card is dedicated to typewriters! There's just something so satisfying about typing with one of these machines and seeing your words brought to life! There was only one set I wanted to pull out to honour this theme - the SugarPea Designs You're My Type stamp set:


Awesome, right?!


I started my stamping just the typewriter part of the stamp using a mix of kraft and pale grey inks, spritzing with water to blend the colours and create a more faded look. I added some splatters of black mist to my base for an inky look.


This card really came together so quickly thanks to this set! I stamped my three sentiments and heart onto a skinny strip of cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black ink, trimmed them out and adhered them in place with dimensional glue gel. That's it - quick, simple, and stunning!


I'd love to hear what you think of this card. Is there someone you know who'd love to receive it? Thanks for stopping by!

Warhol Pop Art Retro Telephone Hello Card

Hi everyone, Taheerah here wishing you a happy Friday!

I'm a big fan of vintage/retro stuff, and a big fan of Pop Art! So when I saw the Altenew It's For You stamp set with that awesome vintage phone I just knew what I had to do:


Awesome, right?!


I started my trimming my card base out and dividing the space into quarters. I stamped my detail stamp first using Versafine Clair inks, then overstamped with a paler, water-based colour.


I overstamped the phones with Versamark ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I then masked off each square in turn and swiped the background colours on using a water-based ink! Because the embossing powder resists the ink I was able to use a slightly damp tissue to buff the colour off the phones to retain their colours!


I wanted a retro style sentiment so I reached for a fan favourite - the SugarPea Designs You're My Type stamp set! I stamped my sentiment in the centre using Versafine Onyx Black ink and I was all done!


I'd love to hear what you think of this card. Is there someone you know who'd love to receive it? Thanks for stopping by!
