Praying for You Card

Today's card is for a dear friend whose brother is nearing death. She is going through such a hard time because her sister passed away last year and she is suffering from much sorrow during this time. I made a card for a few of her friends to sign, just letting her know that we are lifting her up in prayer.

I started out by embossing a piece of blue paper; I can't remember what the folder was, but it's a moot point at this time because all the glitter has obliterated the pattern! My guess is that any embossing folder would have worked just to add some texture.....  smile.

I ran a semi-folded piece of white tulle from top to bottom on the right side of the card. It is also hard to see because of the glitter, but maybe the intention will add some sort of subtle interest. 

Tools used:

Spellbinders:  Decorative Labels Eight, Bitty Blossoms, Spiral One Blossom
Memory Box:  Lorelai Leaf
Sizix:  Botanical Builder
Martha Stewart:  Large Leaf Punch
Cheery Lynn:  Mini Fanciful Flourish
Anna Griffin Cuttlebug:  Embossed Sentiment
Blue Ink
Glitter
White Tulle
Embossing Folder
Blue and White Tripple-Looped Bow using ribbon from my stash





Lots of glitter. It's a little easier to see the tulle in this picture:

To My Friend

Today's card uses a very intricate Memory Box die called Kensington Border; along with that die the Cheery Lynn Mini Fanciful Flourish die was used. The sentiment, from Stampin' Up, is  punched out with a EK Success Oval Scallop punch. Further embellishments are a double-looped pink bow and iridescent string pearls.

Here is the card:

You Are Inscribed

Today I tried a new technique that has been popular lately:  Drapery Folded Card. I found this link on YouTube that was so helpful:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lSPXXJTTqI

I have so much paper! There was a time when I would go to the Sherwin Williams Stores and ask for discontinued wallpaper books; there are so many of them in my craft room now that there will be no need to buy papers ever again!  One of the pages from a discontinued wallpaper book was used for this card. I put kraft paper on the base to make it more masculine and used a knotted grossgrain ribbon rather than a bow.  The stamp is one of my favorites from Stampabilities, called "Palm of His Hand."

This card is so easy to make. Maybe you will try it, too.  :o)
