It's a beautiful, sunny day outside today in Midland, Michigan. Our high temp for today is 87F with a low tonight of 64F. The winds are light and variable. Please remember to give credit where credit is due. If you use my idea's on your blog, please give credit and share a link back to my blog!!! Start Shopping!!! July–December 2021 Mini Holiday Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure Have Launched....AND.... PREPARE TO SALE-A-BRATE! AUGUST 3 - SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 Sale-A-Bration is one of Stampin' Up!'s biggest promotions of the year. It’s packed with perks for demonstrators, overflowing with opportunities for customers and filled with fun for everyone! My share for today is an Alternate Faith, Hope, Love Card that I designed using the contents from Stampin' Up!'s August 2021 Paper Pumpkin Kit called Hope Box. Stampin' Up! cofounder, Shelli Gardner, created the Hope Box to help us find what makes us hopeful. We can collect mementos and precious objects and keep a curated Hope Box as a place to turn to for some self-love and inspiration. Thank you so much Shelli for such a beautiful kit. Let's take a look: My Card Base is the Pool Party Card Base from the Hope Box Paper Pumpkin Kit. My Card Front Panel is from the Melon Mambo Card Base in the Kit trimmed out to measure 2-1/4" x 5-1/2". I cut a length from the Blackberry Bliss Ribbon from the Kit, wrapped it around my Card Front Panel and adhered the Ribbon in the back with both Mono Multi Purpose Glue and tape. I adhered the Card Front Panel to my Card Base with Mono Multi Purpose Glue. I fussy cut apart the Large Butterfly/Flower die cut in the Kit. I adhered the Large/Small Butterfly to the center of my Ribbon with small pieces of Stampin' Dimensionals. I adhered the two medium Butterflies to my Ribbon and the two half pieces of Flowers to my Card Front Panel with Mono Multi Purpose Glue. (I tucked the ends of the Flowers underneath the Ribbon. I masked the stamps in the Hope Box Stamp Set and only stamped 'faith' and 'hope' in Blackberry Bliss Ink onto the Multi Color Panel in the kit and trimmed them out on my Stampin' Trimmer as shown in the picture above. I adhered them to my Card with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. I adhered one of the Banners in the Kit to the inside of my Card with Mono Multi Purpose Glue. Using A Good Man Stamp Set, I masked the stamp and only stamped the word 'LOVE' in Blackberry Bliss Ink onto the Multi Colored panel in the kit and trimmed it out. I adhered the word to the inside of my Card with Mono Multi Purpose Glue. I adhered five of the Adhesive Backed Sequins from the kit to my Card with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.
