World’s Best…
Happy Friday Y’all! I’m actually writing this on Thursday night and just wrapped up watching Big Bang Theory. Does anyone else read the letters that Chuck Lorre puts at the end of the show? I find it quite amusing how very “Dear Charlie Sheen…” they are these days. I have to admit that I kinda like watching the crazy unwind. I guess I’m a little bit of a sucker for the US Magazine material…LOL!
Well, I am guessing that you didn’t come here to “listen” to me jibber jabber about Big Bang Theory or the craziness of Hollywood. Maybe something more of the inked up nature is what you are seeking…and not the Kat Von D style of ink.
I have to admit that this card has several points of inspiration. I saw some great patriotic decor at the store the other day, some of which had pattern mixed in with the red, white and blue. I do also like the idea of the die cut words that Papertrey is coming out with soon. I have a Cricut and Make the Cut {yes, ProvoCraft I do and I will continue to use it!!}, so I figure that I can cut any word out and pair it with whatever stamps I have on hand {I kinda have a few…LOL!}. I used some bolder die cut lettering for this card, along with the Verve sets World’s Best and Wishful Elegance…
The tab at the top is the Verve Vintage Oval die cut in half and then topped off with a light blue felt heart and button with linen thread tied through it…
I first cut the letters out, and then stamped tone on tone with the pattern stamp from Wishful Elegance…
I had fun with the wonky stitching both in the center of the card and at the bottom near the sentiment…
Finally, I have to say that I am pretty pleased with myself having done a Dad’s Day card in May! I’m always cutting it close with getting cards done {and sent!!} in time! I hope everyone has a great weekend! We are going to be cooking up some landscaping ideas here. Fun, fun, fun!!
Awesome job… I love all the details - they work so well together. Great inspiration; thank you!
I always want to read those writings at the end of the show but they aren’t on the screen long enough - is there somewhere you can read them online? Fabulous card by the way (and yes, I’m a Make the Cut gal too!)
Oh, this is awesome! I don’t use my Silhouette nearly enough and you are definitely inspiring me with this! I think I’ll do something similar. I’m thinking of a Congrats “GRAD” card as well…hmmm….Thanks for the inspiration! Love this one!!
This is fantastic, love the bright colours…will definately have to pin this one!
Love this! Great use if that Verve background stamp on the letters!
Wow. You did an awesome job with the inspiration. Beautiful stitching.
I love everything about this card Jen! Have a great weekend!
This is awesome, Jen. LOVE IT!! And I love the BBT, too….Sheldon is too funny for words.
Your Verve flowers are great. I like your waves of stitching!
