Cosmo Lil’ Man Thanks
Today I needed a thank you card for one of my boys to send –a perfect time to try out my new Lil’ Man papers by Cosmo Cricket! Perhaps these papers make it a bit less *mature* than I was after, but these papers are so fun and I love the colors! Just because my guys perfer dark, drab and plain cards doesn’t mean they all have to be that way, now does it!!! Here it is:
I think it’s fun! Both patterns used are on the same sheet called Dapper Dan in the Lil’ Man Series by Cosmo Cricket. They were a perfect match with my Prism cardstock in Blush Dark Red(I LOVE this deep, rich shade of red)and Tawny Medium. Just a simple card, pretty much just playing with paper and one simple sentimentcut and embossed on my LabelsTwo Die by Spellbinders. The dots along the bottom were punched with an old-fashioned 1/4″ hand held punch. I then attached each dot to the card with a mini glue dot. It gives just a bit of dimension that I like, very easily and quickly. My sentiment panel is topped with a SU Mini Library Clip (these are so cute!!, I finally bought some!!!) and my bottom corners are rounded. That’s about it!!!
Stamps: SU retired Cheery Chat
Paper: PTI Vintage Cream, Prism Blush Dark Red and Tawny Medium, Cosmo Cricket Lil’ Man (Dapper Dan)
Ink: Versa Fine Onyx Black
Accessories: Spellbinders Labels Two Nestabilities; SU Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Mini Library Clip, Corner Rounder; Ancient 1/4″ hole punch; Glue Glider.
Note: My Prism Papers and Versa Fine Ink are from Stampers Dream.
My Labels Two Nesties, Cosmo Cricket Paper and Glue Glider are from Joan’s Garden.
This was the first card I’ve made in a week — WOW — that was a long time!!! Hoping to get back into a more regular routine!!! Hope you had a great weekend and that you can look forward to a good week ahead!!!
