Project Recipe
Cut your card base to 81/2 x 5 1/2 and scored in the middle at 4 1/4
Cut your mat at 4 x 5 1/4.
Using the Positive Thoughts stamp set by Stampin' Up! and Pretty Peacock ink, stamp once, twice, and a third time all without re-inking the stamp.
Using the sentiment "Hope, Prayers, Love" and the Pretty Peacock ink stamp the sentiment in the upper left-hand corner.
Using the Stampin' Up! paper trimmer score piece, score lines from the inside right-hand side at a 1/4 mark increments (score two or three from the top and two on the bottom).
Either glue down with Tombo glue or give a little dimension using Stampin' Up!s Stampin Dimensionals.
Don't forget to stamp the inside of the card and the envelope as well.
