Motif Prayers

The 3rd Thursday of every month I meet with ladies at our church for a "Card Ministry" Evening. We get together to make cards for the card rack at the church for the congregation to use to send to one another for prayer and encouragement. Here's one of the two cards that we made a bunch of this month:

This card showcases for you two products that are included in Holiday Extravaganza Sale Bundles and also on sale Individually! That is our 5/8" and 5/16" Neutral Brad Assortments. Here's what these assortments look like and the special 30% off pricing that's available on them only through November 30th!

Here's a look at the three bundles all priced at 30% off that include one of these sets of brads in each addition to a stamp set. The Pendant Note and Fresh Cut Bundles also each include an assortment of Laser Cut Notecards and Envelopes!

Here are links to some other cards I've done recently that use these Neutral Brads:

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• "Groom Specialty Paper" is not just for weddings! I've used this delicious black foil on black paper for everything from Halloween to Get Well. It's just the perfect tone on tone black paper that holds so much versatility!
• This card is a 6" x 3" Card – it fits perfectly in our Small Open End Envelopes, and is just the right size to hold a check or money. This particular card came from a 12" x 12" piece of cardstock and was cut 12" x 3" so it folded the long way. You can also cut 6" x 6" squares from 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock, but you'll save the most using 12" x 12", getting 4 cards to a sheet of cardstock.
• The Neutral Brad "prongs" are pretty hefty – be sure to use a Paper Piercer and Mat Pack to set them with ease!

Razzleberry vs. Red

What a difference a color can make! When I started this card, I had the typical Christmas colors in hand – at least, MY typical Christmas colors, Real Red and Old Olive. I loved using this Little Leaf die as the branch for the birdie, but when I was done, something just didn't sit quite right with me. So, I re-did the card, this time using Rich Razzleberry instead of Real Red. Then I was satisfied! It's amazing to me what a difference one color can make in a card design.

Although, some of you may prefer the Real Red! We all have different preferences and tastes. Which version is your favorite, Razzleberry or Red? Leave me a comment and let me know!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• Backing these jumbo brads with a 1" circle of cardstock gives some added intrest. I set the brads through that circle punch out, and then mounted the cardstock/brad unit on the card with a Stampin' Dimensional.
• "Little Leaves" is a Stampin' Up! Exclusive Sizzlit Die. It's probably one of my favorite little dies, it makes such wonderful accents with almost any stamp set! Here, I substituted it where the stamped version of the branch would have normally gone.
• "Sprigs" of cording tied in your ribbon is a wonderful way to add some metallic vibes to any card.
