Embossed Typewriter

 I am going to be well stocked with masculine cards! And I am actually having fun making them! This time I embossed that cute little typewriter with black embossing powder. That strip of silver is Silver Waffle paper (still available in the Stampin' Up! ™ catalog).  




  For the last two cards I embossed the typewriter with Pewter Embossing Powder.  It looks better on the Basic Black than on the First Edition newsprint paper but I was experimenting.  

 Enough with the typewriter, time to get out the flower stamps...

A Couple More Typewriter Cards

  I love this little typewriter! It works so well for masculine cards. The card on the right uses Island Indigo and Crumb Cake card stock with some Island Indigo baker's twine and a little strip of torn First Edition Designer Series Paper.

 I even used the little typewriter to make a Valentine for my DH. I got the idea from Mary Fish. The hearts were made using the Fashionable Hearts Embosslit die. The embossed hearts on the card base were made with the Adorning Accents Embossing folders.

Can you believe this weather? Feels like May or June not March. I remember a couple of years ago when we had snow in March and April. The only down side is my allergies are awful this year. Oh well, small price to pay for great weather...

You're My Type Meets River Rock

 I am so thankful for talented stampers that share their fabulous ideas! I copied this paper piecing idea from Ann Schach. I stamped the typewriter twice; once on Very vanilla and then on First Edition Designer Series paper. Cut out the piece of paper part and adhere to the typewriter that was stamped on the Very Vanilla. Presto-looks like typing on the piece of paper. The card base is my favorite neutral, River Rock, and I added a little Cherry Cobbler bakers twine. The stamp set is called You're My Type and is available in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog.
