Kylie’s International Blog Highlights August 2021 – Festive & Bright Bundle: Blessed

How does a beautiful handmade card say “Thank You” in a way nothing else can? To me, this card shows the sender that they are blessed by the recipient.

• I love the flexibility of the Festive & Bright bundle that allows you to create cards and projects for 3 different holidays/seasons with one bundle!
• My August Thank You/Blessed card measurements and product list will be below the following International Blog Highlights information.

• I’m excited to participate again in Kylie’s International Blog Highlights with my August Thank You/Blessed card.
• I hope you’ll take time to vote for up to five of your favorite cards from the highlights. (Hopefully including mine!)
• Just click: VOTE FOR MY CARD! then select my card by clicking the heart on the upper right of the photo.
• You’ll know you’ve voted for it when the heart turns red.
• The top ten winners based on your votes will be able to participate in the actual International Blog Hop at the end of the month.
• One of my goals this year is to make it into the top ten at least once!

Instructions:

• I don’t plan to do a full tutorial since I featured this card in my You Tube Facebook Live on Wednesday, July 21st at 7:15 pm Central time. Watch the replay for instructions at this link: Facebook.com/CreateWithKelley.
• The front is diecut with one of the the Festive Finishes dies that coordinates with the apples.
• The Real Red strip you see on the bottom is actually on the inside of the card.
• I also attached a Real Red strip behind the stamped apples before I diecut it in order to cover the blends that bleed through after coloring the apples.
• Inside I stamped the greeting The Good Things in Life Are Better With You in Real Red.
