A Very Special Mother's Day Pocket Card Full of Encouraging Words

A Very Special Mother's Day Pocket Card Full of Encouraging Words

I love these pocket cards; you can fill them with lots of goodies - trading cards, gift cards, photos, tickets, letters -  endless of possibilities.

 The one I have made today is full of encouragement or stressed moms.

 This pocket holds a bookmark, trading card with bible verse, and a large base that has encouraging words on both sides.

 All the insets are embellished with flowers, fancy paperclips, or ribbon for an added flare.

The papers are Faith, by simple Stories and  where just perfect to add uplifting sentiments.

Jolly Jack-O-Lantern Card

Thanksgiving Card - Vintage Flare

A Sweet Little Pilgrim Boy brings softness to the bold Holiday card

This card has so much texture  but comes together nicely with help from a few Anna Griffin Tools.

I have embossed the brown cardstock with one of Anna's fall embossing folders and brushed it with some gold ink (Dew Drop - brilliance - Galaxy Gold).  Then I cut out fall leaves in four coordinating earth-tone fall  colors with one of Anna's leaf  dies. 

Topped off the leaves with hemp cord and 2 handsomely textured, coordinating buttons.

I really like the overall welcoming feeling of this card.
