What I Love

What I Love is a beautiful three-step stamp set available during 

Stampin' Up!'s Sale-A-Bration event.  It's one I hadn't 

broken out yet - so when our younger son asked 

me to create some thank-you cards for him, I decided "it was time".  

After all, when your mom makes your cards all the time, you 

don't even think about going to the store to get one - you 

simply ask mom to mail some to you at college!!  Oh, I love that he asked 

me to make them...then there's the interesting challenge of making cards

 that are "masculine" enough that a 19-year-old male will 

feel okay sending them.

The "You Pick Any 3 Colors" Challenge from the Can You Case It? challenge

 was absolutely perfect for his thank-you cards!  I chose Cajun Craze,

 Basic Black, and Hello Honey with the neutral color of Very Vanilla 

thrown in to keep it clean and simple.  After all, not too many 

guys want lots of frills and embellishments.

I made two of the cards, included envelopes (as well as two postage 
stamps), and mailed them off to his dorm room.  He's going to 

enjoy getting some "happy mail" from mom this week, don't you think?

Thanks for stopping by ~ hope you get inky today.
