I’m a little jittery with excitement. On Monday I’ll be revealing to you all when the new site is finally going to launch. So come back to see the set date!
Have a little fun…Palette #87: Painted Stripes A Seattle Stroll, a custom card for a giveaway winner. Remember the giveaway that I hosted on Discover Paper back in November? The gal who won the custom card received this card that I have dubbed A Seattle Stroll. It’s been a while and I’m only getting around to blogging about it now. Her and her husband met in Seattle for the first time, so this card is something extra special as they take a stroll back to where they began. Such a cute idea that the winner had, don’t you think?

Find out how put it together yourself below…
To start with, grab your kraft paper wrapped gift and collect the following things listed below. There’s no way you’re going to give someone a plainly wrapped gift. I chose to have a gold scheme and chose paint, ink, and ribbon to keep in step with that scheme.
The tags are simple: thick cardstock with metallic gold ink. They were leftovers from my wedding tags. Four lines were drawn on the tag with shimmer gold puff paint and then placed on top of the wrapped gift. The evergreen branch stamp was stamped with gold ink, the bottom of the tag trimmed with wave-edged scissors, and gold fringe ribbon was wrapped around the tag and tied into a knot on the bottom of the wrapped gift. You really don’t have to spend ages to wrap something all pretty.
1 comment I have always been the gal in art class who used a ruler for everything. Everything had to be aligned perfectly. Super strict. Lately I’ve been noticing that I’m slowing straying away from that. I’m becoming a little more crooked in my ways. I’m falling in love with hand drawn and hand painted stripes.
Especially lines formed by melting crayons…

It’s only fair that I put it up on the blog too. I can’t wait to reveal the finished product. It’s pretty awesome seeing something that I drew up start becoming something real. Thoughts?
4 comments If you’ve gone to the Shop to see those Valentine cards that were just released last week, you might have noticed that a few other new cards have popped up there. You weren’t seeing things. I just haven’t gotten around to sharing them on my blog until now… Birthday Penguin + Mushroom Villa + Tire Swing + Duck Duck Goose + Baby’s Crib + Cinderella’s Carriage + Laundry Line
