You’re My World card for the Music Blog Hop

Posted on August 16, 2023August 1, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Music Blog Hop where we are sharing musically inspired projects. I was visiting my Mum recently, she is living in a care home with Alzheimer’s, and a singer was entertaining the residents and one of the songs she sang was ‘You’re My World’ which was a big hit in 1964 for Cilla Black. I vividly remember my Mum singing this to my brother and I, she had a lovely voice and loved to sing. I made my card with this song in my mind.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the you’re my world card. You will need:

Basic Black card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Paper – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
