I have to admit I felt really uncomfortable trying to CASE any of JulieHRR‘s creations for this week’s Featured Stamper challenge. After all, HRR stands for Her Royal Rubberness and Julie’s cards are just amazing! She does clean and simple like no-one else.
I chose a birthday card she made for a 12-year old neighbor and turned mine into a Valentine for my husband. He unsubscribed from my blog a while ago, so I can still surprise him with this card on February 14. A computer image would have fit him very well also, but I just love this typewriter from the Puns from the Past set, and the pun that comes with it.
I stamped the image twice with Basic Gray ink. The Whisper White version was punched out with the Curly Label punch and the Going Gray typewriter was cut out by hand. I glued the white card stock to Going Gray and traced around the label, then cut the mat. The two Going Gray hearts were punched out with the new Heart to Heart punch and adhered with dimensionals.
Thanks for stopping by!

Perfect masculine Valentine-and how clever to use the Ghostly Greetings paper-it fits in perfectly with the feel of this card!
