I'm super excited to share a fun card with you today.
But even more exciting is the story behind it's creation. As a design team member for Spellbinders I was invited to participate in CRAFT IT FORWARD'S first ever blog hop.
Craft It Forward is a movement designed to benefit local charities through craft projects. You can make a difference in your community by doing something you love – crafting!
Spellbinders is a proud sponsor of Craft It Forward.
Join us in this fun blog hop and check out how so many of us
were inspired by the same cards.
This is my version using Echo Park Little Boy papers. In the Clouds and Cool Stripe.
I also used Labels Twenty S5-026 Nestabilities Die Templates from Spellbinders. My favorite way to accent the awesome embossed feature is by sanding the papers a bit around the shape before adhering it to my project. And of course you can't have too many layers right? I created some Word Art to fit perfectly in the Labels Twenty die and to match the theme for my card. I've posted that here for you to save to your computer and maybe use on a card of your own.
Everyone knows SOMEONE that has served or is serving in our Nation's military
that could use a happy handmade hello in the mail.
Okay.... Thanks so much for stopping by! Now for some AMAZING inspiration...
your next stop is my friend and insanely talented KAZAN CLARK.
And if you'd like to start from the beginning because you're just tuning in....
please visit Scrapbooks Etc. Have a great day!
