Friday Eve! Time to make a card!

It's Thursday night- what a better night to sit down and make a card with your brand new Graphic 45 stamps?

Even though it's only Friday Eve, I've already got a bad bad case of Friday Fever.  I'm already having trouble sitting still and it's not even Friday and I'm not even at work.

I had big dreams of doing a layout tonight.  But like many big dreams, it died a horrible death.

So I made a card!

This is what I started with-  those new stamps from Graphic 45's Olde Curiosity Shoppe line.  Aren't these little bottles kick ass?  I bought them while at the BasicGrey class on Tuesday night, remember?  I used those little letter stamps from the dollar bin at Michaels, too- 

See?  I used the letter stamps to turn it into a little liquor bottle!  The set comes with various small stamps you can use to label the bottles, but none of them were as cool as the bottles!  I was excited when I found my sets of letter stamps.  I don't drink gin, I drink vodka.  But 'gin' is a shorter word and I'm lazy.

I kept it very monochrome.  I embossed the piece on the back with a folder from the Sizzix 'Figgy Pudding' set, and very lightly edged it with some Walnut Stain Distress Ink.  The card under the bottle, I edged using the Walnut Stain Distress Marker-  these work GREAT to quickly put a faint line on the edge of a piece of card!  Just drag it across and BANG- classy card.  I also used foam dots under the bottle for some dimension amongst all the kraft, but it didn't translate well in the photo.  

I thought this would make a nice invitation for a night of drinks.  Because I'm sure all of you are like me, and when you want to invite someone out to drinks, you send them a nice card with a bottle on the front. 

I hope you aren't getting bored of kraft, cuz I'm not-  I just might start a new blog called "Kory's Kraft-y Kingdom."  No, maybe it should be a video blog, and I narrate the entire thing in monotone Rick Steves PBS travel show style.  Have you ever watched this guy?  I seem to catch his show often, while waiting for Lawrence Welk to come on-  oh, you didn't know that I like Lawrence Welk?  I don't really-  only when they do production numbers.  I appreciate the insanity of it.

Well, as Holly's Mom says, "I'm gonna make like a baby and head out."   See ya, people.
