Card Making Workshop Your Way Blog Hop

Workshops Your Way 

Card Making Workshop Kits

If you have never participated in a blog hop before, it is just one big loop of fun ideas as you visit each blog along the way.  If you are coming from Michele's blog, you are on the right path.  If you are starting here, just look for the link at the end of my post and successive posts to see where to go next.

For my project, I used the Here For You Card Workshop Your Way.  

I really like the sentiments of the exclusive stamp set included with this kit.

If you were to follow the kit directions, this is what you could make. 

However, with a little creativity, look what else you can do.  

I made an accordion envelope card. 

It's for a friend who is going through tough times.  

Each section of the card is actually an envelope.  

The envelopes are overlapped to form an accordion. 

Inside each envelope is an insert with a either a prayer, a verse, a coupon good for a batch of her favorite cookies, a coupon for time to just listen or to spend together quietly .

The belly band for the card is made using ribbon from the Rustic Home Ribbon 

collection and Hook and Loop (velcro) dots.  

There is also a hook and loop dot under the  flower cluster 

on the front of the card.
