Sharing this card that I created for a family member to show their appreciation to an individual who did something wonderful for our family. It’s important in life to show your appreciation even if what they have done for you is part of their job, let them know that they are making a difference and touched your life in a positive way!
I am pleased with the finished results of this card. Awhile back I had the opportunity to design and teach some classes for an inaugural crafting event. I didn’t use all of the papers and had some beautiful papers leftover. I decided to pull them out and use for this card. So unfortunately the paper is retired but if you visit Bo Bunny’s website I am sure you can find some equally as beautiful. These papers had multiple different size panels perfect for pocket scrapbooking, probably their first intention but also great for card-making.
I made use of a fairly new set that I purchased from my Stampin Up rep, the forever fern stamp and coordinating die bundle, love it! The focal point was created with a shimmer sheet and flower die from Elizabeth Craft Designs, I further embossed dots on the flower with an embossing folder. The sentiment stamp was the finishing touch.
I have been noticing the metal rings that Stampin Up had released and quite liked them but didn’t have any. So as a crafter does, I went on a quest to create my own, my answer drum roll, memory wire used for bracelets, it comes packaged in a beautiful coil and you can just snip with wire cutters adjacent to the loose end and voila you have a beautiful metal ring. As mine was being covered on one side I simply placed foam mounting tape on top of the ring to secure. If you would like less of a footprint try some liquid glue or an adhesive dot to secure the ring together. My aha moment for this post!
Hope you are inspired to create, and please remember and acknowledge the individuals in your life thatmake a difference!
Creatively yours,
Sharon
