Hey everyone, today I'm sharing a post over at the
October Afternoon blog. I'm creating some cute "business cards" using the Shorthand paper from the 9 to 5 collection.
I cut apart the fun office girl images and used them separately to create some whimsical cards for my mother-in-law.
Lots of fun elements from the 9 to 5 collection. You can read more at the OA blog.
My vintage typewriter was put to good use on these stamped
Medium Manila Tags. The fun rotary phone image is also from the 9 to 5 collection.
A fun couple of cards in total office supply style.
If you're visiting from the October Afternoon blog, here's how I created the small coffee stains you see on my cards (check out the corners on the cards below). I sprayed the Buttermilk Sprinkler onto a craft mat then used a glitter container to stamp the image. Just tap the container into the puddle of Sprinklers and then stamp on the cards. If you want a life size coffee stain simply use a real coffee mug.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. Hope your day is great!

Cute, fun cards. I used to work in an insurance office, so these cards are right up my alley! Used a vintage typewriter too! Wish I had that old thing now. Corrine Ann
This are so cute!! I have my mom's old typewriter and I think you have pushed me over the edge...I must find some typewriter ribbon so I can actually use it. Thanks so much for the inspiration and the motivation!!

I've had this same paper for months now and wasn't quite sure how to use it,what a wonderful idea.
What an outstanding way to use that patterned paper!! I LOVE these cards you created!! The typing, the coffee stains, the decorative brads, the tags----it's all just perfectly fun!!!!
These are too stinkin' cute! I know I don't usually comment (I know I'm rotten) but I've been a long time subscriber and just wanted to say that I have always loved your work and you've inspired me in many different ways throughout the years...so thank you! :)
