Hello there stampers …

Today I want to share a card with you that I whipped together so I could announce an upcoming class!  It is my favorite new stamp set in the catalog … Timeless Talk.

I love the nostalgic look of this stamp set.  I’ve always loved the old phonographs, my grandma and grandpa actually had a Victrola.  Oh memories (hmmm… might have to do a scrapbook page too).

My “TIMELESS TALK” class will be held at my Stampin’ Studio on Thursday, August 15th at 6pm.  I have the details listed on my calendar, and will be sending out the “Upcoming Class” list to those on my e-mail list.  Click on the “my calendar” to view.

The picture of the card does not show the dimensions (layering) of the actual card.  The “Modern Medley” (126926) Designer Series paper and the Real Red mat behind it, were cut out with the “Ovals Collection (129381) Framelits, then popped up with the Stampin’ Dimensionals to frame that cute phone!

Don’t you miss those kind of phones?  I had to laugh… someone had just told me the other day they wished they had the old style phones because you can’t slam down the receiver of a cell phone!  I just smiled … I didn’t ask.  But, it’s true! lol

For the greeting, I cut that out and then added the stampin’ dimensionals to pop that up too.  It just gives it so much dimension.  And you know me, I couldn’t stop there … I just had to embellish it a bit further with the pearls.  They are always a nice touch and so inexpensive to use.

Last but not least, I added a scrap piece of the designer paper inside the card to match the front … why let it go to waste!  I often use the scraps to coordinate the envelopes (that’s cute).  Just make sure you adhere it down well so it doesn’t get caught in those automated sorters at the post office.

Pretty simple card to make, but it is so cute.  Sure to bring a smile to someone’s face.  And isn’t that why we make cards.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card, and that you can make it to my class … I know you are just going to fall in love with those cards.

Have a great day and share a “hello” with someone!
