Here’s the scenerio: Good friend has surgery. I am at convention and this slips my mind (well, he did not say it was MAJOR surgery, in my defense!). Two weeks go by (er, FLEW by) and I call. Uh oh. I am in.the.DOGHOUSE! No get well card! (…and we are getting together tonight for a concert)…hmmm two problems – manly card AND get well card – due in ONE HOUR! YIKES! Well, Stampin’ Up to the rescue! A quick search online for a design to CASE, Check! Search for appropriate stamps… Check! Manly colors/design….hmmmmmm…. aHA! Howlstooth and Herringbone DSP – a give-away from convention and in the new Holiday Mini Catalog. Stampin Up has made all the color choices for me by providing Designer Series Paper collections with coordinating 
colors, designs, etc.! I was even able to use the same page of paper, since the plaid pattern was on one side and the dots on the other, as you can see from the folded sample on the left! Lovely soft grays and oranges – good for guys! Love the plaid and dots together. I found perfect flowers with Just Believe set from the 2012 main catalogue (released July 1st). Soooo….. card in one hour? CHECK!
You may notice this card has “thank you”, not “get well soon”. That get well card went out the door so fast there was not time for a photo! Ooopsy! The good news is that I think this design works just as well for a thank you, birthday, or “thinking of you”! (Did I say how much I LOVE this paper???)
Until next time…Keep Calm and Find Yourself a Rubber Stamp!
