Just a note with Crafting Forever

Stampin' Up! Crafting Forever stamp set. Pick a Pattern DSP, Stampin' Studio

You know how sometimes you just need a simple card to send a quick note to let someone know you’re thinking of them?  Well, this is the perfect card to do just that!  I used the Crafting Forever stamp set and the Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper.  One of the images in the set is a row of three pens.  I stamped the image and colored in the floral pen with the Flirty Flamingo and Garden Green markers because I noticed how this pattern in the pen is very similar to the pattern in the paper.  I did a bit of fussy cutting of the pen, and after I stamped the sentiment from the Flourishing Phrases stamp set I popped the pen up with Stampin’ Dimensionals at the end of the word “note” to make it look like it was hand written.

 I feel this card has a rather feminine flair to it because of the flowers and color palette.  If you’d like to see a masculine flair to the same card, scroll down.

This is the exact same card, using the same image, sentiment and Designer Series Paper.  All I did was swap out the floral pen and designer print for the striped pen and designer print, and we’ve now got a masculine card to send out.
