While
it's fun to create scrapbook pages documenting life's wonderful
moments, cards celebrating milestones, and projects to decorate our
homes, there are also occasions in life that call for reaching out to
loved ones in times of difficulty and loss.
I have a couple of family members that are in need right now, and I
thought the personal touch of handmade cards created with the elegant Story of Us 5x7 cardstock pad (which happens to be my absolute favorite Momenta product!) would be in order.
I LOVE this cardstock pad. The colors and patterns are timeless and can
be used for a wide variety of projects. I chose 6 solids and patterns
from the pad and layered 4 of them onto kraft cardstock from my stash to
create my background. I used the other 2 patterns to stamp flowers
onto which I cut out and used as embellishments.
I adhered the stamped sentiment focal point as well as the stamped
flowers with foam tape for dimension. I decorated the flowers with my
white pearl pen and stardust Stickles. I finished the card front off
with a pretty bow.
As
you can see, my second card is the same design as the first. So as to
not feel like I was sending the same exact card out, I made a few subtle
changes: I selected 4 different solids and patterns from the cardstock pad for my background, I stamped a different sentiment, I switched the
color that was used for the large flower to the small flower and vice
versa, and I tied a different ribbon. This card is different enough to
be different but the same enough to not have reinvented the wheel...
gotta be efficient in this busy life!
