Totally My Type!!

 
Hi Bloggers! Happy Friday to you! What better way to start your weekend off right, then a festive TRIO of fun cards with special guest artist (and friend of Simon), Teri Anderson?! I think it's fun to hear about what or how the artist was inspired so see the few sentences below from Teri to tell you a bit about her process:

I challenged myself to use one stamp in three different ways, just to see what all I could do with it.
The set I picked is Technique Tuesday's Totally My Type stamp set. It features a really cool typewriter and some words to go with it that are very typewriter inspired.

I really love this stamp set because typewriters are near and dear to my heart. I've always had a lot of love for them, plus I have a background in journalism. I have spent a really good chunk of my life writing. Of course, it is on computers nowadays but close enough. ;) 
 

 Shop the supplies for all 3 cards:
 


 123 Hello card
 For this card, I was going for a more eclectic look so I stamped the typewriter, cut it out and then decorated it by stamping on the keys and adding a few embellishments to the typewriter as well. I also cut a clear epoxy circle sticker in half and placed toward the top of the typewriter.

Thanks Office card
For this one, I wanted to make an office scene of sorts so I pulled in one of the lights from the Bright Idea set. I only wish my office was this cute.

 We Click card
I was shooting for a more graphic card so I only used half the typewriter on this one. 

Thanks for reading today and special thanks to guest artist, Teri Anderson!






Blog Candy Alert! The generous folks at Technique Tuesday are offering a blog candy on our blog today! Follow us and comment on this blog post, and you could win this Totally My Type stamp set! The winner will be announced on Monday, good luck!
