Handmade congratulations card that made me feel special

My friend Sandi Hartka that I met at the Founder’s Circle retreat last year made this great handmade congratulations card with the Bravo Stamp Set for me.  That she took the time out of her busy schedule to congratulate me an the achievement made me feel so special.   Handmade cards have a way of doing that. 🙂

The congrats greetings inside and out came from the Bravo Stamp Set.  Recognize the starburst behind the stars?  It’s the incredibly popular and favorite Kinda Eclectic Stamp Set.  Now that’s a shining star.

Took a picture at this angle so you could see the recessed star.  Sandi used the Stars Framelits Dies to die-cut through the Whisper White Cardstock and Real Red Cardstock for the front of the card.  The recessed stars stepped this card up from nice to niiiiice.

Sandi’s card exactly what she intended it to do.  It gave me a lift and made me feel special.  Are you good about sending encouragement cards?  Do you send someone a card to celebrate an achievement?  To let them know you know they’re struggling through a rough patch?  Are you quick to send a thank you card for a kindness?
