I had the opportunity to join some lovely creative ladies on Monday evening for Combat Cards. In essence they create cards each month which are sent to our armed forces so that they can mail cards back to their family/friends – awesome aren’t they? Anyways they let me tag along (I’ve been meaning to go for over a year, but life derailed a bit last year for me, but better late than never).
I was using up some kits that got cut for classes last year and didn’t end up being used at the time, but once a kit is cut it’s hard to use it for anything else. However I combined them with some of the new Occasions products and came up with these two cards, I did make more, but I’ll share those tomorrow otherwise this will be a really long post!
The flowers are from Petite Petals, which are so pretty, if you purchase them in a bundle with the co-ordinating punch you save 15% which makes them good value. I only partially covered the Pool Party card stock with the honeycomb embossing folder, before covering the join with some thin Island Indigo ribbon (retired). The leaves are from the two step bird punch and the sentiments are from the new Perfect Pennants stamp set.
If you would like to join these amazing ladies once a month the timetable for the year can be found below or if you can’t physically get to a session, there are card drop off points as well.
