Hi everyone, today I would like to share a very simple card I made with the cover gift stamp set with this month’s “Creative Stamping” magazine. I never normally buy craft magazines, in fact I haven’t bought one for years, but I do glance at them if I’m passing a magazine stockist. I was really taken with the stamp set this month which consists of typewriters, various sentiments in typewriter font, and other co-ordinating decorative elements. There is also a small double stencil set which I also really like so overall the magazine was a great buy. Here’s my first make with them … very straightforward and quick, but the stamps stamped beautifully so I’m very pleased with how it turned out.
I cut a 5” square of white stamping card and stamped the typewriter and sentiment, then stamped background text in opposite corners. I stencilled the jumbled letters in red then matted onto black and red card stock and a card blank - that’s it! It usually takes me hours to make a card as I’m a slow crafter, so this was a refreshing change as I fitted it in whilst I was supposedly clearing the table! This stamp set has the potential to make much more intricate cards too, so hopefully there will be more to come.

What a great masculine card. Love your color combo. Thank you for joining us at Creative Knockouts, and I hope to see you again soon. Hugs, Jinny
Like you I don't buy magazines, but if you see something that appeals it's a different matter. This would work for man or woman I think, funnily enough I have one or two typewriter shares to come, not a design that I would have bought but enjoyed the new A&C new washi tape with them on.

They are great stamps Pauline, I think I would have been tempted too if I'd seen it. Your CAS card is fabulous.

This is fantastic, Pauline. I love all things vintage/antique so the typewriter image drew my eye right away. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Word Art Wednesday. I appreciate you and every piece of art you share with us at Word Art Wednesday. God bless you and please visit us again soon.
Looks like that was a good buy. I love what you have done with the stamp and stencil. A great card. I don't often buy magazines either but did buy the recent edition of die cutting essentials for the Spellbinders ampersand die. I have used it twice already, so that's good. I also need to make a vintage card, so thanks for the inspiration on this one. It has a lovely vintage feel xx
Wonderful card I like those vintage stamps, wonderful background too, thanks for playing our Stamps challenge at Krafty Chicks Challenge. Have a wonderful day!
