While I was thinking about it, I wanted to post these cards. They went out in the mail early this morning to two ladies that I am praying for and wanted them to know that I’m thinking about them. I would like to encourage you to check out THIS post on Kelley Holland’s blog (Our Daily Bread Designs owner) concerning her friend, and our Sister in Christ, Sandy. Sandy needs prayer to lift her up during a difficult time she has encountered in her life…please send a card if you can afford a moment. As a visitor and a commenter, you will have the opportunity to win one of three lovely stamp sets that Kelley is giving away. I made two of these cards, one of them went to Sandy that I mentioned above and the other went to Sally along with a birthday card. You can read about Sally HERE.
Do these look mildly familiar? There are! These are the supplies I had on my desk since I was working with the "Circle Medallion made with a Corner Punch". Since I needed these two cards lickety-split this was my best hope. It is just like THIS card except I really needed to ditch the big bow because they were sent in regular envelopes and flagged for hand cancellation. The sentiment on the front of the card is part of a scripture contained in the Hope set by Our Daily Bread Designs. The inside contains part of the poem by Emily Dickinson:
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all
Take good care! Be good to yourself and your loved ones!
I’m sure the ladies will be uplifted by your card and thoughtfulness. (I appreciate how you use and reuse items. You inspire me to be more creative with my supplies!)
What beautiful and heart-felt cards. I am sure they will be well received.
Becca, I love your cards. They almost look ethereal. I am also wondering how you set up your photographs. I continue to get shadows and light spots in my photos. k
Becca,
Stunning. Simply stunning.

Absolutely stunning! The cuttlebug embossed piece looks pearlizewd in the photo, is it? Where did you get it? It is beautiful.

Good evening, Becca. Your cards are so beautiful, as usual. It’s always sad when one has to make a card for situations such as both your friends but when they can see the love which has been put into each of their cards I’m sure it will uplift them. I do hope the Lord will be gracious unto them and lay His healing hands on them.
These are soooo beautiful!! Have not seen anything like them anywhere else!
Becca, your cards are beautiful and so sweet. Thank you for highlighting Sally as well!!
Becca….what corner punch did you use on this card?
Love these cards with the punches!!! I’ve already ordered a couple and will attempt to make some myself. Thanks for your wonderful ideas and constant inspiration.
Beautiful cards… wow. The recipients will treasure the cards.
Beautiful. I know the ladies will love them. What corner punch did you use? I just found your website and saw the earlier card and I order corner punch of it. Love your beautiful cards and your creativity.
Hi Becca!! Beautiful cards… I attempted one your circle punch cards with a punch that I have. I am pretty happy with it… Will post it tomorrow!!
Have a great evening!!

Beautiful cards…I love the dimension and intricacy of your designs. I’m sure they will bring hope and comfort to the recipients.
Your cards are so lovely! Becca, could you tell us how you tie your beautiful ribbons and what you are attaching them to?
Becca, Your cards are always so beautiful I love getting my mail everyday just waiting to see what card you did for the day.
These are absolutely beautiful. I so enjoyed your first one and ordered the products to complete one of my own. Now I must ask about these. They look so different. Would you mind sharing which punches you used to create these or maybe share another tutorial :-)
Fabulous work, I am sure that these ladies are going to be so happy to receive such beautiful cards. Thanks for sharing their stories, I am off to read about them now!
Gorgeous cards! Thanks for sharing your talent with us! I’m sure Sally and Sandy would love these cards! Take care!
Wow, wow wow Becca beautiful as always. I too want to know which punch you used this time. I just got my punches out and I’m experimenting, hoping to make one with the circle frame.
Thank you for sharing these stories and your good example. I love your cards, and you inspired me to do the same for Sandy. I’ve posted it on my blog, along with her story to help with prayer support because cancer touches so many lives. Extending a hand of friendship is an easy thing to do! Bless you!
Oh my these are just Gorgeous, I still need to get in my room and just play around with my punches and see what happens!
What an inspiration this card is! It certainly would lift the spirits of anyone receiving this little lovely. I really admire how you get the most out of ordinary tools. Who would have thought a corner punch could be used to create such a gem?
Card are beautiful, I am sure they will be very up lifting during this trying time.
I agree with some of the above responses, please do another tutorial showing how you did the medallion.

Hi~ Just wanted to say what a joy browsing your blog has been. It’s art and spirit for the soul. Thanks for sharing so generously.

Hey Becca,
Lovely cards, please give us the info on how you put it together and what punches you used and are other materials. Thanks for your patience.
You say that you used 2 different corner punches on this card, which ones were they?
Becca
I just discovered your blog and tutorial last night and have already spent a lot of time studying and trying your techniques and I am going to use this technique for my next card exchange. I am also curious which punches you used on the pink cards because it looks like one of the punches went into the center of the circle. Please share your secret :-) They are just gorgeous and I will lift up your friends in prayer.
