S {ICK} ?

S {ICK} ?...
...feel better soon!

Another wonderful find on Pinterest! (Don't you love that place...
After Facebook, here is another dangerous way of loosing a lot of your time.)

Anyhow, this card is a card with a twist! Once you open it, you have a...


...kleenex box stuffed with a tissue!

What a clever idea!  Lorri Helling on her blog,  "Confessions of a Stamping Addict", has very easy directions on how to makes this tissue box.

Here is the direct link:

Unfortunately the stamp I used doesn't have a brand on... I got it at Joann, of this I am sure.

I also took my Martha Stewart Baker's twine. It always add a beautiful final touch to any card.

Until next time...

Love You

I LOVE YOU...
... three little words, packed with punch AND oh! so versatile. 
A card adorned this way, can work from Valentine's day to Father's/Mother's Day to a special anniversary.
I first saw this card on a papertreyink blog, and fell in love with it...
The mix of Kraft paper, baker's twine and the simplicity of the message...
Check it out:

Choosing the font is very important; you have to find one that feel just right.
I printed "love you"  on a Kraft paper from paperandmore.com and use Martha Stewart baker's twine. 
I made 3 more of this card and I made the "X" smaller (1 inch instead of 1 1/4)... I think it looked better. The kraft panel is raised by dimensional squares.
Until next time....
