Remember...

Clean and Simple - designed for a Brother-in-law who was born and raised on Iowa farmland. Work boots and a hat are ever present for him and this stamp reminds me of him and his Dad.


  • I used a dark brown Distress Ink for this image and rounded the corners opposite the fold.
  • "Remember" was stamped on a piece of cork using a pre-inked stamp set.
  • The faux brads were created by punching CS with an 1/8th inch hole punch five times and then putting the punched circles on the sticky back of a sticky note to hold them in place.  A drop of Duo Glue was put on each circle, and when dried to sticky, gold gilding was applied.  Glue was placed on the card at 5 equidistant spots and the 5 circles were then set on each glue drop.

This card should be eligible for the following
