Green Card

Hello! Thanks for stopping by my blog today to see the card I have to share.  I am so happy that you are taking the time to be here.


This card is very straightforward with the stamping. I stamped the white panel with green ink.  Then I die cut it into two pieces and popped the first one up with a thin piece of fun foam.  I was hesitant to try this, but I have found that it is a touch thinner than dimensional tape and is still easily mailed with one stamp.


"Take Good Care" is a sentiment I have can use for several types of notes I need to send, like the 50's song, "Take Good Care of my Baby," to Get well or Sympathy.  I find myself reaching for this sentiment often. (Plus I like the mix of type and script.)

Supplies: Power Poppy Simply Camellias, Gina K Applemint ink and cardstock, Versafine Black ink, Avery Elle Wonky Stitched dies, American Crafts Ribbon, Spellbinders Foliage dies.

I would love to play along in these challenges:
ModSquad challenge - Song Inspiration

This is so pretty in that soft shade of green, and I love the sentiment tag. I never knew you could use fun foam as a dimensional - I learn something every day!

Hi Heidi, A gorgeous green card love all the flowers and using the nesting rectangles makes it look a little like triple time stamping, what a great idea to use fun foam instead of tape, I'm using foam mounting tape and I go through quite a lot, I'll have to give it a try. I've also used slightly squashed corrugated cardboard from packaging instead. Have a wonderful week... Megan
