myasperations 1-1-23

It’s the 1st of the month, so I’m sharing a few DT cards for the challenge at QKR Stampede. Stop by the challenge, which is always “Anything Goes” and several prizes are awarded. Maybe you’ll be inspired to enter a card or two yourself?
The first card went together pretty quickly with two sentiments from Eureka Stamps plus items from my stash. (The origami heart adds a bit of texture and interest, but is fairly easy to create. I used a scrap of foil wrapping paper which holds a nice crisp fold, making it the perfect paper choice to use for origami!)
                                       
Supplies: 

·   Front Sentiment- Eureka Digital Stamp (Friends Bless the Heart) Also available in unmounted or cling-mounted

·   Inside Sentiment- Eureka Digital Stamp (Thinking of You) Also available in unmounted or cling-mounted

·   Origami Heart -Pinterest tutorial found HERE.

·   Sheer red dotted Swiss ribbon- JoAnne’s

·   All other items from my stash
