So Grateful



Hey there, Bleeps! I hope you had a good start to your week. Today, I'm sharing a card inspired by Sarah Martina. She created this bonus sketch over at 2S4Y this week. When I saw it, I knew I had to make a card with the layout! Of course, I changed it just a tad because the cardstock strip I had was pre-cut to a certain length. I always lay things out before I adhere and just liked the way it looked, so I kept it that way.

Hop on over to 2S4Y this week to see the design teams' amazing projects and also for your change to win some great prizes! Take care and thanks for taking a peek!

  3. Trim kraft cardstock block and stamp flower images.
  4. Add white markings to flower images with pen.
  5. Tie black ribbon around kraft cardstock, then adhere to card front with foam adhesive.
  6. Trim cream cardstock strip, stamp sentiment, and ink.
  7. Add sentiment strip and button to card front.
  8. Adhere card front to an A2 card base.
