Welcome to the April
Creative Card-iology Team Blog Hop where we are featuring punch bundles from
the January - June 2022 Mini Catalog! After you've checked out my blog, follow the links below to hop on over to my teammates' blogs!
I chose to use the Let’s
Set Sail Bundle, which includes the Let’s Set Sail stamp set and the Sailboat Builder
punch (found on page 70 in the Mini Catalog).
This set is a great set to make masculine, graduation or encouragement
cards.
Hopes
and dreams require action to come to fruition.
Harvey MacKay, a businessman, author and columnist, said that “A dream
is just a dream. A goal is a dream with
a plan and a deadline.” Where would we
be without people who hoped, dreamed and action. I wouldn’t be sharing this card if the
founders of Stampin’ Up! hadn’t dreamed and taken action!
Card Measurements:
- Card Base: Thick Basic White Cardstock - 4 ¼” x 11” (scored and folded at 5 ½”)
- Layer 1: Night of Navy cardstock - 3” x 4 ¼”
- Layer 2: Basic White cardstock - 4 ¼” x 5 ¼” (trimmed to 2 ¾” x 4” after ink is applied
