A little Type Talk

I've had the Type Talk (Concord & 9th) stamp and die set for I-don't-even-know-how-many years, and I had never used it. I love the set, but I think I was a little intimidated and not sure what to do. So last week I pulled it out, searched online for some inspiration, and created two birthday cards.

I decided to make a masculine card and a feminine card. For the masculine card I used navy blue and gray, clean lines, and a simple background. For the feminine card I made the typewrite aqua, added pink and yellow flowers, and stamped polka dots on the background. Looking at it now I should have moved the flowers down so they didn't look like they were floating in mid air. Oh, well. And here are the cards with the messaged pulled up:

I think they both turned out pretty well, and now I have some ideas to try the next time I use this stamp set -- like maybe something without coloring or without using the dies. I need to get my creative juices flowing!

Thanks for stopping by!
