Card Of The Week – Believe

Believe-Handmade-Card-Create-With-Joy.com

What’s On My Work Desk This Week? (WOYWW)

Spring has almost sprung.

Easter is on the horizon.

Are you as excited about these occasions as I am?

Today’s card, Believe, is a celebration of these events – but this card also means so much more!

Words are powerful things – and “Believe” brings with it a message of faith – a message of encouragement – a message of hope.

Believe invites you to move forward in life. It invites you to move towards healing – towards reconciliation – towards a brighter future.

Believe invites you to step out in faith – to embrace the power of the resurrection – and to believe in the person who died and rose for you.

Believe invites you to rise about your self-perceived limitations and to follow your dreams.

One word.

Unlimited possibilities.

When things seem impossible, remember the power of Believe!

To create this card, I layered 2 coordinating papers from SEI’s 6 x 6 Happy Day paper pad over a white card base. I chose these designs because they were bursting with color – the patterns reminded me of fireworks in bright spring pastels!

I then layered 2 coordinating ribbons over the seams (don’t you love those delicious pink polka dots?)

I carefully handpicked through a jar of pink buttons to find three in ascending sizes to draw attention to the word Believe (which, I believe, originated from a tin of K & Company chipboard).

I then added a few additional buttons to the patterned paper to create a 3-D sunburst effect!

  1. This is a pretty card! Love the choice of papers and colors 🙂 Perfect for Spring!

  2. Pretty card and lovely little rabbit. Love the thoughts of SPRING…overdue in my mind. We need a nice rain to green up the grass and make the flowers bloom. Our burn ban would be cancelled and I could get back to walking. As always a lovely cat !

  3. Lisca Meijer says:

    What a lovely card! I love it.
    Thank for sharing the photo of your kitty. Gorgeous!
    Have a great week,

    PS I’m thinking of our fellow desk hopper Shoshi today who’s operation has been postponed yet again! I can’t imagine how she must be feeling. I’m sure you’ll join me in prayer for her and her hubby.

  4. Pat says:

    Hi Joy, thanks for entering your pretty card to the Quirky Crafts challenge. I don’t know why, it must be the way I told it, but nobody has got the challenge right so far.
    You have ribbon, but you need children or pets dressed in costume to enter this challenge.

    I hope you will enter another project which has children or animals dressed up in costume and with ribbon on it.

    Hugs,

    Cazzy x

      Sorry I missed that requirement Cazzy – but at least I’m in good company! 🙂

      Since attempting to dress up my cats in costumes would most likely result in major mauling and bodily injury to me I think I am going to have to pass this time round – but hope you get some cute entries from those who who read it right!

      Have a lovely weekend!
