I worked for quite some time on a retirement card for one of hubby's co-workers. I used some of my carefully hoarded SU! designer paper and matching cardstock, searched the internet for the perfect non-cheesy, retirement-themed sentiment, fussy cut the flower and used not one, not two, but THREE pop-dots to secure it to the front, and then hand made the matching envelope. When I was finally happy with it all, I gave it to hubby to sign and address. After a few minutes, I heard a suspicious sound coming from his office. With a sinking feeling I yelled down the hall, "Hey!! Do NOT use scotch tape to close that envelope!!" There was silence...and then a quiet, "I almost did." I immediately retrieved the card and sealed the envelope myself - properly. Crisis averted, but whew, that was close!
Nothing like a little transparent tape to make a hot mess out of a beautifully crafted creation.
Here's a picture of the card - before I added the sentiment to the front:
The card design was based on a sketch that was part of a challenge here last week.
I wasn't sure where the story was going. Sure brought a smile to my face. :-) Glad you saved the project.
ReplyDelete<> I know a good divorce lawyer. Just kidding, of course.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out really classy. I recognized the sketch right away.
That would be like you putting the wrong bait on the hook!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you used your coveted stock! That means more shopping though doesn't it?
Britton, this card is a beauty! Thanks for sharing the story about your hubby. They just don't get it, do they? LOL!!
