If you are looking for an easy card to make using only 2 stamp sets, 2 inks and 4 papers card, then this layout is for you! The landscape, side fold card really packs a punch of popping color, flying envelopes, and a typewriter whose letter is already started.
The longer saying on the card says, "sending hugs & love when words aren't enough." When I saw that saying I thought it could be used multiple ways. For example: Sympathy in the loss of a loved one, or a loved pet; receiving a shocking health diagnosis; home or car accident; a divorce; or a faraway move across the country. I am sure there are more possible reasons, but the best reason of all is to be kind to your friend who is going through a tough time in their life.
Can you imagine someone sitting down at an old fashioned typewriter and whipping out letter after letter to their friends and loved ones. I can, thus the flying envelopes all over the card front.

Paper Snips for fussy cutting the typewriter and envelopes out.
Close up look at the fussy cut typewriter and sheet of paper coming out of it. Here's a hint for you, leave 1/2" of extra room on the bottom of the Basic White piece you'll use for the sheet of paper. By doing so you will be able to attach the two pieces together with adhesive and scotch tape for insurance. The dimensionals that you'll need to raise the typewriter will be so easy to apply when both pieces are connected together.
All the flying envelopes were also fussy cut out. It is so fun to arrange them how you'd like, but be sure a few edges hang off the designer paper so you can trim prior to mounting the DSP layer on the Real Red layer.
Inside Layer Peek - 6 Boho Blue stamped envelope images in a border effect. Lots of room left to write your personal message, which I'm sure your friend would appreciate.
It is a good idea to have a matching envelope, so another pattern from the Countryside Inn Designer Series paper works nicely on the exterior envelope flap.
