TheMisterT has his great- or great-great aunt’s Underwood No. 5 typewriter and even though it’s in rough shape and not functional, it’s still super cool looking. We haven’t had a place to display it, but I think we will soon, so I wanted to make seasonal papers to install in it.
For now it is sitting on a specially purchased cutting board (thanks Ross!) on top of our glass-topped coffee table in the living room.
I stamped a full “sheet” of Stampers Anonymous stamps on it all at once, then used die cuts to frame it. A 3 different evergreen pieces in a 1-2 colors each. I added juniper-like berries and jingle bells to the swags and a couple of big pine cones in the corner.
The base paper is a cream, speckled printer paper which couldn’t really support all the decorations and the typewriter doesn’t have a paper support, so I used spray adhesive to mount it to a piece of white cardstock.
It still wasn’t quite as upright as I would like, so I used some wood shims, cut to size, to hold it up.
I’m looking forward to making more of these for other holidays and seasons!
