Vintage Typewriter Hello Card













Created this Clean & Simple Vintage Typewriter
Hello Card using the Heritage Cricut cartridge.

The patterned paper with the text letters is a Kraft
12" x 12" paper pack and is a new to me find at
Hobby Lobby last wk.

Cut letters out to spell hello to put on the paper
inserted into the typewriter.

Would like to know if using white inking on the
typewrite would look good and where exactly on
the typewriter would you place the white marks?
Please let me know what you think?

Also, would like to know if any embellishing should
be added to a card like this. Please let me know what
you think?

  12. Looks great! So many kids do not even know what a typewriter is now-a-days. You asked about the white...little white letters on the keys would be neat (if you could get them that small). Thanks for sharing at Made Especially For You this week.
