I love the Memory Box sentiment stamp that says "You're Fun to be Around" {B1214}. Well, I thought I would use this stamp for a fun card and incorporate some circles because of the word "around" in the sentiment. So, I picked up the Memory Box Bright Sun stamp {B1209}, and got to work. First, I used VersaMark to stamp the "sun" three times on black cardstock. I then embossed them in white and punched them out with my 1" circle punch. I forgot to use my embossing buddy, and with black and white, it is really important. Ugh! If you don't use it, it causes some of the embossing powder to stray and stick places where you don't want it to be.
Next, I grabbed my Glitterati paper and attached it to the bottom portion of the Memory Box parsley notecard {22030}, added some ribbon, and my embossed circles, and it was almost complete. To finish, I added some Memory Box pearl stickers. And there you have it!
Papers: Memory Box Glitterari, Memory Box parsley notecard (22030)
Tools: A Muse stamp positioner, Creative Memories 1" circle maker
Stamps: Memory Box Co. Bright Sun B1209, Memory Box Co. You're Fun to be Around B1214
Stamp Ink: VersaFine onyx black, Colorbox Fluid Chalk blackbird, VersaMark, Ranger seafoam white EP
Embellishments: Memory Box pearl stickers mint, misc. ribbon
I hope you like this quick and fun card. I also hope that you aren't having as busy as a month as I am. I know May tends to be rather rough for most people with end-of-school year fun! That's one great thing about quick cards--when you are busy, they are easy to whip out but the receiver still thinks you spent hours. :) Enjoy your Thursday evening, and I will see you next time!
Gorgeous Patter!
