<\/a>My nephew is turning 22 and I wanted to make him a fun interactive card. \u00a0However, keeping in mind that he is not likely to save and “treasure” the card as much as appreciate the cash inside I knew I wanted to keep it CAS (Clean and Simple)! LOL<\/p>\n

I brought out my Simon Says Stamp “Watts Up” stamp set<\/a><\/span> and decided to just have fun with a few different techniques: I played with\u00a0some “smooshing” of Tim Holtz Distress Inks (Spiced Marmalade and Squeezed <\/a>Lemon), did some masking of the sentiment stamp to customize it, tried some layered stamping, used the super fun interactive\u00a0Diemond Dies Pull Strip Die<\/a><\/span>, and even made some\u00a0origami hearts out of $20 bills to tuck inside the pocket!<\/p>\n

As I was practicing the printing, stamping and masking for the final card, I came up with a little bonus card (see upper left photo) that I will tuck away in my stash until I need it. The spacing isn’t perfect and I think I like the cleaner final card with more white space, but I think only a card maker will notice (at least I hope so). \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
