Today is Martin Luther King Jr Day in the United States, a federal holiday when we celebrate Dr. King’s birthday and honor Dr. King’s tireless work for civil rights. While he is most known for his platform against racial segregation on public transportation and his fight for racial equality, Dr. King was also an advocate for the poor and worked to end poverty for all people.
Today’s card features an inspirational sentiment – “You are proof there is good in this world” against a backdrop of mountains of torn papers from the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper. While this card honors the Martin Luther King Holiday, it can also be a sweet thank you card. Here’s my card:
I reached back to my 2023 Annual Catalog for most of the items used on this card, but there are some newer products here, too! While it looks like I expertly tore a bunch of papers and glued them together to look like a mountain scene, the focal panel on this card is pulled from a pack of the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in this pack of papers:
The sentiment is pulled from the Earthen Textures stamp set in the 2023 Annual Catalog – I just love this sentiment. Here’s a look at the Earthen Elegance Bundle:
What makes this stamp set even more appealing? It’s offered in French (click here) and Spanish (click here).
I punched the sentiment with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch (I love that punch!) and adorned it with thin strips of the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper. I accented the sentiment with three Pretty Peacock sequins from the Adhesive-Backed Sequins. What a great accent to any card!
The background panel of my card, glued to a Pretty Peacock card base, is embossed with the Softly Sophisticated 3D Embossing Folder, part of the bundle that can be selected with a $100 order during Sale-a-Bration. Here’s a closer look at the texture on this panel:
And here’s a look at the Softly Sophisticated Bundle, a great Sale-a-Bration offering:
