HOPE You are not tired of looking at cards made with my Stampin' Up Paper Blooms paper.
One of the reasons I have been using the paper, is that I recently received the pack free with my order of Stampin' Up supplies... Plus two of my crafty friends also received the free paper with their Stampin' Up order and decided that didn't want to use it? Not sure if that was the reason, I just know they both asked me if I wanted it. (And of course I sadi Yes.) I'll be honest it's not my favorite ever SU paper but it definitely grew on me when I realized some of things I could make using it.
My above card was made using The recessed panel card technique, I couldn't find the link I found using the instructions. It is an easy card to make. I had written down my measurements
On the top of my card base 4 1/4 by 5 1/2
I cut two more panels 1 inch by 5 1/2 inches
Another panel 2 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches
and applied each one to a side of the card with dimentionals
Underneath the two panels (inbetween) the two panels )... I applied some designer paper
That's all there is to it... decorate with your choice of embellishments (PS , I'm not too good with instructions so hopefully I didn't make any mistakes...

My word for the year is HOPE!
I haven't used it that much, I need to use it more, so I'm trying to find ways to use it.
Several years back My word was BELIEVE, and that word really worked for me..
I put my word on my appointment book, and even put one on my mirror.
My friend Cherie, had her mother embroider the word BELIEVE on a hand towel for me to hang in my bathroom as a reminder.
I just ordered anothe towel from her Moter with the word HOPE on it.
I thought someone else might be interested in this idea...
Thank you for visiting my blog today,
Blessings,
Jill

ReplyDeleteRe your mum being a lover of your cards, so was mine and dad, when I cared for him till be went to join mum at 103, loved watching me make them, he used to say "no, do this" and actually helped me...
Now the word HOPE, I once spoke with a psychologist and used to say I 'hope' and he would say there is no such word, work that out. xxx
