Materials:

• Cardstock or Card
• Sewing Machine and Thread
• Clock Decal
• Button
• Rubber Stamps
• Brown Ribbon 
  

Instructions:

1. I started by making the card. After I attached the striped paper to the front of the card, I used my sewing machine and added a zig zag stitch round the outer edge. If you have a sewing machine, try this it's a lot of fun and adds some texture to your project. Next step, I added an oval frame that held the words "You are Loved".
   
    
2. I mounted the clock decal to a piece of chip board and inked the edges. For an extra embellishment I added a button to the center of the clock.
   
   
    
3. I made 5 cards and labeled them. I gave my boys each a card and my in-laws each a card and asked them to write something that special that they loved about my hubby.
   
   
    
4. I just used some rubber stamps to put the names on the cards...
   
   
    
5. To the top of each card I stapled a simple brown ribbon. This can be used to pull out the card. I attached a pocket in the inside of the card and used another frame to hold the words..."Words of Affirmation"
