One of my favorite projects, Let's make an Affirmation Card/fold with 6 pockets to hold affirming messages and treats!

Hello Fellow Stampers and Friends~
I was originally inspired to make this project by a similar design I saw on Pinterest about a year ago. Personally, I try to send out positive, affirming messages , uplifting and encouraging to everyone in my circle and beyond. I believe that we never know who may need to see a smile, hear a kind word of a hug, and rather than assume everyone is 'good', I follow my heart and go with whatever feels right to me. SO, it is in this vein, that I decided it was time to share this project in my live Saturday Night, stamping with Tony, on my Facebook page, River View Creative Studio.

I created two different folders/cards ahead of time, and a third one during the tutorial. You may enjoy watching the video which is included in this blog post, and I have also included some photos and directions for how to make one for yourself. I hope that I have inspired you to share one with someone in your life!
Happy Stamping and God Bless!
Tony
