AmberInk - Fan Mail

Awww, I'm feeling kind of sad. This is my last project for my term as an Amber Ink torchbearer. I know I will still be using their fun images and papers but it just won't be the same. On Friday, March 17th, I'll recap my Amber Ink projects and the following Monday the new torchbearers will be announced.







This is another card that I made for Operation Write Home. I am really working on getting my box filled so I can ship it out soon. I had to use Mod Kitch Kitsch and Say It Like It's 1959!. These sets are so perfectly punny - I love them! If you aren't comfortable using digi stamps, they also come in clear stamp sets.

Before I go today, I wanted to tell you about a new line of digi stamps on Amber Ink. The line is called "Get Them While They're Hot - Sheen On" It is a line of sentiments inspired by Charlie Sheen and his recent rants. I soooo wanted to make a card with one this week end but I ran out of time. Go check them out HERE.



Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great week!





Supplies:


  • Stamps: Mod Kitch Kitsch and Say It Like It's 1959! from AmberInk, It's Official from PaperTrey
  • Papers & CS: Georgia Pacific CS, PaperTrey kraft CS, October Afternoon Schoolhouse DP, misc. orange

Your little "fan" card is too cute!

I don't know whether to laugh or cry about the charlie sheen sentiments, though!

Love that kraft cs and that embossing folder. Adorable card, especially with the orange and the distressed edges!
I know how precious time is which is why I generally don't even post and pass on any blog awards, but you always inspire me so I left you a blog award on my blog. (I hope it's ok, )

Awesome card, Cheryl! Lovin' that retro image and I love how you put it all together. Perfect card for OWH.

I am seriously laughing so hard at the Charlie Sheen digis! That guy is a nut but some of those sentiments would be so stinkin' perfect for cards! Did you see the video on YouTube with him in "Warlock Cooking"? Insane! :)
