Words, Words, Words

I'm a word nerd, so the Greeting Definition set from Hero Arts has been calling my name for a long time. I now own it, and maybe this card is a bit carried away with words, but I love it shamelessly!




To make this, I stamped the thank definition in black and then used a limited edition set from Clear and Simple Stamps called Thank You to create a thank you frame! This was so fun!

I am trying to make time to put together a quick tutorial on precision stamping, and will post it as soon as I can. Unfortunately, real life is intruding with some unwanted stress this week, which is slowing me down.

Now, I'll send a pack of bling to the first person who can correctly identify the Shakespearean character whom I quoted for the title of this post.

  6. I love that quote! Hamlet said it when asked what he read. I've always thought that was a clever answer/line. Anyway ... .

  9. You'd never know this wasn't just one stamp. Great job of matching the spacing of the perimeter stamps. It looks great! Now, from reading the answers above, I'll say.....Hamlet!.....but I had no idea.

  10. Your card really appeals to me too. No school for me today, so I appreciate the lesson also.

  11. The first thing I thought of when I saw your title was Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady - not quite Shakespeare, I know... :) I love this card! I'm going to have to get out my gridded blocks and practice this weekend. You inspired me to get cracking! :)

  13. Fabulous card, Susan. I'm amazed how well you were able to fit the Clear and Simple stamps around the definition - you must have played around with that for quite a while!

  14. Well, it was Hamlet but obviously I've arrived to late to benefit from my trivia loaded brain. Had to comment on your card though - brilliant! I've never seen this HA stamp used to better effect. Wonder if I have enough other Thankyou stamps to case your card. :0) Thanks for such great inspiration...

  15. I'm having trouble posting through my Google Account so I'll try an Anonymous post.

    The quote is from Hamlet, I believe that Polonius said it, and I'm pretty sure he said, "Words, words, mere words........"

    I love me some Shakespeare :-)

    And I love the card!!!

    Your cards are so great but I have one question. Do you ever see the ink on the inside of the card? Does it show through when you stamp?
