Stampin’ Royalty 242-Alphabets

DSCF4678

Happy Wednesday, peeps!  Wow, I can’t believe this month is almost over and I only have one more week to participate as a guest designer at Stampin’ Royalty!  It’s been so fun!  This week’s challenge is to use alphabet letters!  I rummaged around in my retired DP and found just the right one!

Storytime not only had great background papers, it also had this cute little image, just right for a boy’s birthday!  I made a little card with my File Tab die, stamped a couple of Verve sentiments on it and then cut out some ABCs in Real Red, So Saffron and Baja Breeze with the Little Letters dies.  They looked a little plain so I cut another set in Basic Black to layer behind them like a shadow, and I like this look much better!

I added a little metal arrow clip and some baker’s twine:

and I had some vintage-looking DP that sort of fit the theme of this card, and used it to make a custom-sized envelope, since this card is about 7 1/2” x 4 1/4”!!  That Envelope Punch Board is so handy!

I’ll bet there are lots of ways that you could incorporate alphabet letters into your creation, especially since it’s back-to-school time!  Can’t wait to see what you create; share it with us at Stampin’ Royalty!

Tell Little Miss Happy Birthday! It has been fun watching her grow up but time flies too quickly. Your cards are always worth the visit too.
