I needed a little friendship appreciation card for someone who is always helpful, kind, and makes my life easier whenever she can! I always have it in the back of my mind to use old stuff in my stash whenever I can probably because of the Splitcoaststampers' Use It Challenge, which requires just that...bring out the dusty old stuff and use it! Read on to find out why that's just what I did for this card.
My friend and I have a love of chocolate, plus we are both involved in Stampin' Up products and cardmaking. Thinking about chocolate, brought to mind a stamp set from way back when...2011 as it turns out! Pulling out these old stamps led to using other old and retired items as well! Take a peek below at the inside and outside of the finished already mailed and on its way!
Ingredients: SU Cardstock--Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip & Pretty in Pink (retired). Ink: Early Espresso, Soft Suede (ink distress). Retired SU products: Stamps--Eat Chocolate (2011 Occ.-retired); Decorative Label punch; Polka Dots Embossing Folder; 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon (stash). Zutter Corner Rounder punch. Size: 3" x 6" Mini Slimline.
Wow, a friend with Chocolate and stamps would be a friend you would want to keep forever. 😄 Cute card.
