L is for Love Letter

Happy Friday friends!  I hope that you’re having a great week and looking forward to the weekend ahead of us!  We’re planning on being outside and have fun with family!  It’s still warm, but hopefully we can get away from the 90 degree (F) weather!

Today is a new challenge over at the Alphabet Challenge Blog!  Our next letter is “L”, and our hostess, Veronika, has chosen “L is for LOVE LETTER” (include handwriting & hearts)   *Please remember that this is a bi-weekly challenge, so you have two weeks to enter.*  I hope you’ll join in the fun with us.  Here’s the project I’ve made for this challenge:

I always think of handwriting as the most sincere form of a love letter for sure, but I do not like my handwriting at all….so I prefer the typewritten style! LOL  I thought the  Just Write card kit I got from Taylored Expressions would work great for this challenge.

I fell in love with Lori Craig’s card including the colors of it, so I wanted to duplicate it!  I didn’t have everything she used in hers, but I like how it turned out!  The background was done with a 3D Lots of Love embossing folder over a stamped cork background.  I swiped white ink over the popped up hearts to try and bring them out a bit more.  The lined notebook paper inside the typewriter came from the TE Love Letters Clear Stamp & Die combo which is also where I got the “XOXO” to stamp on the heart at the top.  I also used the hearts from this set to stamp on the notebook paper.

Here’s the inside of my card where I used one of the Just Write-Insiders panel for my card and included the stenciled pen and stamped an “ink spot” all included with the card kit.

I thought this would work for my “handwriting” portion of the challenge. *wink*  I could’ve signed it to be completely official, but I don’t know who will be receiving this card right now, but it will be ready to go when the time comes.

  • Hope you’ve enjoyed my card today and that you will be joining in the challenge with us!  Thank you so much for stopping in today!  Wishing you a wonderful weekend ahead!
