You know you are great friends and have a long-lasting friendship when you can give a snarky card, right? I was so thrilled to use the feminine arm chair image from His and Hers paired with the One Liner Sentiments for this snarky card, they were a match made in heaven! I paired the two with other past items and new releases from Catherine Pooler Designs One Plus One Collection, just released yesterday!
The idea for my card started by a comment made by Catherine and Erika during one of their lives on Facebook. They mentioned that the chevron paper from A Tisket, A Tasket Patterned Paper Pack reminded them of a quilt, so I took that and ran with it! I pierced holes in the paper to match the chevrons and then stitched over them with black embroidery floss.
It created this cool, homespun look and completely transformed the paper. I framed the stitched piece from the yellow pattern from A Tisket, A Tasket Patterned Paper die cut with the Good Things Mini Cover Plate Die. This plate is so versatile, and the frame that it creates is just the perfect size for a card front. I then stamped the arm chair from His and Hers in Rockin' Red Ink, die cutting it with the coordinating His and Hers Die Set.
I stamped and white heat embossed a sentiment from Happy Birthday Many Ways, tucking the chair behind it, and then tucking the chair and the sentiment in the frame. The quilt panel was mounted to a card base made from Ultra Smooth White Cardstoc and I finished the card with a stamped sentiment from One Liner Sentiments,
I hope that you have a plethora of good friends that you can sent this kind of card too!
