You’re The King
My new Elvis stamps from Cornish Heritage Farms arrived yesterday. I had a football board meeting last night so didn’t get a chance to use them until this morning. Oh the torture to have to wait! lol
My oldest sister Linda is a huge Elvis fan. When I saw these stamps I knew I had to get them to make her some cards and possibly other projects as well. Several years ago another sister and myself took Linda to Graceland for her birthday on Elvis’ birthday. Linda can’t travel on her own so this was something she never expected. We toured the mansion of course and had some birthday cake. I think she loved every minute of it!! Here’s a cheesy photo from the trip!
Stamps: Cornish Heritage Farms Elvis series, SU! “It’s Your Birthday”
Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black
Ink: Jet Black Stazon, Going Gray
Accessories: Burgundy Velvet Ribbon, Plastic Heart
What a great card, these stamps are wonderful and I have also been to Graceland.
Cute! I’m not a big Elvis fan, but this IS a great card! I’m sure your sister will love it!!!
Great card! I love the way you used the two images together! The ribbon and heart are perfect!
Susan, this card is over the top. My Dad is such a huge Elvis fan. He played the guitar in bands all through the 50’s and 60’s and actually played in some of the joints Elvis played in before he was famous. I’ll have to go and check out some of these stamps, I know he would love gettting an Elvis card.
Oh!!! Love this!! I had meant to place an Elvis order right when they became available and totally forgot! But thanks to your reminder, I am now $40 poorer, but will soon have some fabulous Elvis rubber! LOL! Your card is great, and how nice to make it for your sister.
I’m all shook up! You ain’t nothing but a ….stamp Queen! I used to live a mile from Graceland…hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah…but I never owned a pair of Blue Suede Shoes..any Elvis fan would love this card - it takes me back to ….Blue Hawaii….oh wait, now I’m caught in a trap, I can’t get out….I love the Jailhouse Rock black and white….way cool!
Your sister is going to love this card. Awesome by the way.
My mom LOVES Elvis…wait till she sees these!
Yes, I do…I love Elvis. Great card!
Gosh…I need some Elvis rubber! Your card is so awesome !!
How cool, what a wonderful trip and memory — wonderful card, too!!!
WHAT? Elvis stamps??? I promised myself no more stamps until my stampin’ room is done (DH gave up his Nascar room) but I may have to order this and hide it away. Love this card! Thank you, thank you very much - for sharing!
