2-Year Anniversary


One of my favorite stamping techniques is to stamp the same image on different papers and then cut them apart in order to piece them together, but I almost never remember to try it. It happened by accident on this card, because after I stamped this little typewriter directly on the book paper, it looked all wrong, and the sentiment wasn't clear enough. Then, I stamped it on the deep red paper and cut it out, but it still didn't seem to look right. THEN, I realized that of COURSE typewriter paper isn't the same color as the typewriter! So I stamped the whole thing again on cream paper and cut out just the paper part. To make it look even more dimensional, I stuck the typing paper image directly to the paper, and I adhered the typewriter image with Pop Dots.


The best part about this card is that it wasn't until I took this detail shot that I noticed something funny about the particular circle of dictionary paper I had randomly punched out:


It says "SEXUAL INTERCOURSE"! On my anniversary card to my husband! Do you think he'll notice?

That is ADORABLE!
LOL!! "do you think he'll notice?" BUT OF COURSE!!
Love it!!
So cute! Cards are a great place to use really pretty but really crazy paper like that one, which would otherwise require wedding pictures or a single picture in the middle of the page or something. I looooooove the ribbon, too. You should convince me to do that on some of my single-picture pages.

Also, how dirty!

It's so funny how cards make us think about scrapbook layouts. It works the other way, too. And, yeah. I think cards are the perfect outlet for tons of my ornate paper that will probably never see the light of day on my scrapbook pages.
