Alexa once again shared her photo and digital gifts with a download this week. As soon as I saw these delightful typewriters, I knew I’d make some simple, one layer cards. Sadly, I’m in almost constant need of encouragement cards, so it’s nice to have a little stash.
After printing the typewriters on Lumijet Fine Art Ink Jet paper, I stamped each with two sentiments I cut apart from Hero Arts “Everyday Sayings.” Then I found color coordinated cardstock in my scrap files to match each of the typewriters, and adhered it all to top folding cards made from Papertrey’s Rustic White cardstock which almost perfectly matches the Fine Art Ink Jet paper.
I just love these, and there are four other colors yet to print and use for another set of cards. Thanks, Alexa, for sharing your gifts!
I’m linking these up to the Curtain Call Anniversary challenge “Anything Goes.“
Love these simple cards,Karen…..you’ve given me some ideas for using Alexa’s download.
I am so delighted to see they’ve been of use to you, Karen, and how beautifully you have embellished and adapted them! Framing them in matching colours is perfect. You have made my heart sing :).
Hi Karen..I have come searching for your blog, as I am thinking it was your goodself who sent me a postcard! I have really enjoyed looking round your blog…I don’t quite know why I’ve not looked you up before as we seem to blog in the same circle!! …I am adding you to my reader!

I also downloaded Alexa’s beautiful typewriters. And now I have an example to copy of what to do with them!
These are great Karen. I’ll have to go get those typewriters. I’ve been really busy the last few weeks with work, so haven’t been able to play as much in blog land.
By the way, I love your new profile picture. Super cute hair cut.
I finally finished We Need to Talk About Kevin. Not sure what my next book will be but maybe Plague of Doves. Would love to read a book review post from you sometime.
