Feel Goods with a Honeycomb Folder

Hello dear friends.

 

I type with a heavy heart today in the wake of all of this week's tragedy.... Boston Marathon bombing, West TX plant explosion and flooding in Chicago. All of the aftermath is sure to find some more disturbing facts and tragedy; however, we also find the good in people. The medical people who ran to help, the fire fighters running in to save people and pets, common everyday people just caring for each other. It somewhat heals the heart. I know we all want to despise those young men who planted the bombs, but remember that they are someone's sons. Something went wrong with them, but someone loves them.

 

So, I absolutely love the Honeycomb embossing folder and the Feel Goods stamp set. The designer paper used on this card was from Sale-A-Bration but you could switch it and the colors for any designer paper. It is a Whisper White base card with a layer of Whisper White that I put thru the Big Shot with that Honeycomb folder. I used that same folder with a piece of designer paper and then cut out the little hexagons. I am in love with Razzleberry, so I used that to emphasize my greeting and for the small piece of ribbon. It is actually the dotted ribbon, but I folded it backwards so it was plain. The sentiment can be used for any girl or woman for a specific event or just because. "She believed she could, so she did." Love it!

 

I wish you all very happy weekend, enjoy your loved ones and relish in the day.

 

Keep craftin'!

Good evening! Better late than never, right? I really wanted to get this card done today. My husband's schedule has changed. How does that relate to me getting my card done? Well, let me take a moment or two of your time...

 

We own an excavating/trucking company. We were blessed that his excavating season just got done. Meaning he just finished his last job before the weather dictated that he needs to wait a few months for the spring thaw. For a few days, he kept himself busy cleaning his shop, running errands, doing "guy stuff". Today, he was in the house. All morning. Ugh. He did take the kids to school. Then came home. I didn't get my workout in, I didn't get to my craft studio.

 

 

OK, enough of my complaining. I absolutely adore this saying!! "She believed she could... so she did" How empowering is that?! It is in the Feel Goods stamp set in the Occasions Catalog. The set has 5 awesome quotes that you can use inside or outside your card. Very versatile! This card was created on Very Vanilla carstock, with a piece of designer paper from the More Amore Specialty pack. From that piece, I got the coordinating colors of Pool Party and Primrose Petals to make my butterflies totally adorable (totes adorbs, as the cool kids say) with the Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterfly punches. The ribbon is a thick 1-1/4" two-tone Basic Black/Basic Gray. It could dress up a card with its shimmery elegance. Seriously, this card took about 15 minutes from start to finish! Super easy. I did run the butterflies thru the Big Shot with some embossing folders, but it is kind of hard to see. The Primrose is the Core'dinations, so I sanded the top layer off. Cute and empowering. I love it!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you will tomorrow, too. Now maybe I can start supper and get that workout in.

 

 Keep craftin' and be inspired,
