I know it is past Christmas but this style can be used for all occasions, so I thought I would share. I absolutely loved making this card. I copied some music out of an old hymnal. We love books in my house and have a hard time destroying them, so I could not bring myself to pull out the pages to use directly. I cut the pages down to fit card front, some of the songs were shorter so the music was a bit smaller but then I just created a larger border at top of card. I inked the music sheets with distress inks. I then stamped different snowflakes from Snowflake kisses set, Unity. I stamped the snowflakes with tumbled glass and broken china distress inks. I added a border strip and stamped a sentiment from different stamps sets from various companies. I used various circle punches to punch out circles from solid color and music sheet, then added bling in the middle.I used the Fiskars snowflake border punch for bottom edge of card. I added a border with solid paper and music sheet at bottom border of inside as well. I had fun making these and they were easy to do in multiples.
A sheet of a love song could be used with heart stamps and Valentine sentiments could be used to make a lovely Valentine card. If you and your significant other have a special song, you could use it as the background paper.
Another variation would be to use sheet music for Happy Birthday and birthday stamps for a great birthday card. I hope this helps get your creative juices flowing to make a card for the music enthusiast in your life. Have a great day. I will be back Thursday with an Inspired Stamps post and Friday with a Unity Friends with Flair post. Thanks for stopping by and please stop by again soon.
