A Little Note

I often find myself wanting to send a simple note.  Not a card that is celebrating something or even a get-well card.  Just a simple card to say hello and that I am thinking of them.  Today I decided to do just that.  I wanted a card that was versatile enough to be sent to either a male or female, young or old.      

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Early Espresso cardstock that is cut to 4 ¼ x 11” and scored at 5 ½” scored at 4 ¼”.  I then took a piece of Soft Suede cardstock that measured 4 x 5 ¼” and I sued the Stitched Greenery Die (don’t you love that affect) to die cut little stitched leaves all over the layer.  I added this to my card base. 

Next I took a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock that measured 1 ¾ x 5 ¼” and I stamped my image from the Enjoy The Moment stamp set using Memento Rich Cocoa (Stampin’ Up! no longer sells this but you could also use one of the numerous brown colors Stampin’ Up! still offers).  I colored the image in using Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends.  I then used the Light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend marker to add a shadow to the left side of the image.  To tone down the blue just a bit I also went over it with the Stampin’ Blend Color Lifter marker.  I added this to a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock that measured 2 x 5 ¼”.

I stamped the sentiment “a little note…” also from the Enjoy the Moment stamp set onto Very Vanilla cardstock using Calypso Coral ink.  I then die cut it using one of the Tailor Made Tags Dies.  I also added the hole reinforcer that I die cut out of a scrap of Calypso Coral cardstock.  I wrapped the panel with the image with Linen Thread and then threaded that through my tag and tied a knot.  I did pop the sentiment up with some Dimensionals as well. 

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and much more on my website at https://craftwithronnie.stampinup.net or by click the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.
