Hope Card with May Arts Ribbon

I "Hope" you are having a fabulous day, week, month, year or where ever you are at this very moment in your life. 

I am super excited to share with you that May Arts Ribbon has asked me to join their design team!!!

HOW COOL IS THAT!!!

I was asked to create a Breast Cancer Awareness Card as my first assignment. 

I was thrilled to accommodate, I have so many friends that have gone through breast cancer and please to say they are all survivors!!! 

I began by first adhering pattern paper to my card base.

Add some of the Solid Color Edge Ribbon  to create a border. 

Make a small ribbon bow from the Solid Color Edge Ribbon ; add to top of card. 

Using thread with a needle; hand sew a running stitch in 24" of Solid Color Edge Ribbon . 

Pull thread carefully to gather to form flower. 

Add gemstone center.  

Add to front of card. 

Die cut "HOPE" from pattern paper. 

Adhere to front of card. 

Cut ribbon and pattern paper flags. 

Adhere to top of card front. 

Decorate the inside of card. 

I hope I have inspired you today and encouraged you to "Hope". 

"Hope" for today, tomorrow and into the future. 

Hugs Pam

Do You Love Coffee!!!!

It is Coffee Season!!! Can you believe Fall is in the air and with it comes coffee by the fireplace, coffee with dessert, coffee, coffee, coffee!!! I love this time of the year and really being able to enjoy my coffee!!!

I couldn't help but to re-share a couple cards that I created a few years ago!!! The cards I made were created with pretty paper from Maja Designs Coffee in the Arbor Collection!!! Isn't it the perfect paper for this time of year!!!

I used We,R Memory Keepers Nesting Doily Die to create the doilies for each of the cards....now I need to go find that doily die since I forgot I had it, lol. I can see more projects in the future using it!!! I also added some pretty flowers and ribbon to each of the card. I sure hope I have you ready to get a good cup of coffee and are ready to head into your scrapbooking space to create a few beautiful cards to celebrate this time of year. Hugs Pam
