Typed Note Inspiration

Have you ordered your Stamp of the Month yet? Typed Note was one of those stamps that immediately at first glance I knew I wanted it. There is something about the vintage typewriter I really like, plus you get a variety of sentiments to go with it. Here are a few cards I created with the stamp, each is a little different.

This first card uses some older Ariana papers and a complement piece. It gives the typewriter a softer, feminine feel.

Using the older Typeset papers was a no-brainer! It works perfectly with a vintage typewriter don't you agree!

This last card is sending all it's love on some Snowhaven papers and a striped zip strip!

I hope these cards have given you lots of ideas and inspiration. Remember if you place an order of $50 or more you can add the stamp of the month for only $5. When you place your order online you can also add a daily deal! Have fun typing....I mean stamping your typing!!

Base & Bling with Ariana

My project today was inspired by Jeanette Lynton's favorite things in the latest Idea Book {found inside the cover page}. She has chosen pieces from the new Base & Bling, but has them displayed so neatly in a folded card.

I wanted to re-create this project myself using some Ariana papers that happened to match the necklace image I chose from the Storyteller style sheet. Now the necklace is perfect to give as a gift, complete with elegant packaging.

Side Step Calendar

I love the idea of having a small calendar near me when I'm working on my laptop or in my craft room. There are all sorts of ideas out there for smaller desktop calendars, but this idea was really fun to create. It was partially inspired by another CTMH Consultant Gail  @Greetings from Gail and by a Christmas card that one of my customer/friends made for our Holiday card exchange. It is a side step card that as been altered so that a calendar and photo could be added. I found the little calendar's at Taylored Expressions for a minimal price. A piece of cardstock was added to the back step on the right side for a photo to be pinned.

I am also entering my little calendars in Heart 2 Heart's "Two-Faced Challenge"! I have chosen to use the dual sides of some brand new papers from the Spring Idea Book available on February 1st! The first paper is called Skylark and the second is Ariana, both are amazingly gorgeous. Take a look at these fun calendars and get a sneak peek at the brand new papers! Be sure to visit H2H for more ideas of using both patterns of your paper!
