I spent Saturday and Sunday at a craft weekend with a group of friends. Most of the others there were scrapbookers, but I spent the weekend making cards that I need for this month. I made a masculine card for someone special who is going through chemotherapy. They live in a different country and as I can't give them a big hug, this card is the next best thing.
I cut off the front of card diagonally. The patterned and plain light blue paper is from a paper pad from The Range. The mats are navy blue card. I die cut the sentiment with Stamp Market 'Paper Hug' dies.
The sentiment panel is attached to a smaller card, with the back of the card attached to the base card. When the sentiment is lifted up, it reveals the written message inside.
I am joining in the following challenges:
You totally get our challenge and it's the perfect card for it!

ReplyDeleteYour diagonal fold and large sentiment create such a thoughtful and uplifting design, and the calming blues make your card feel like a warm and supportive embrace.
