Sympathy card

A dear friend passed away a couple of weeks ago and I needed to create the dreaded Sympathy card for the family. This type of card is always hard to make but adding gold always makes it a little easier. Take a look at the project below and let me know what you think.

  1. Create a card base from Whisper White card stock to measure 4 ¼” x 11” and scored at 5 ½”. Round the bottom corners.
  2. Cut a piece of Whisper White card stock and round the bottom corners. Cut a piece of DSP to fit the bottom of the Whisper White panel, round the bottom corners and then adhere to the bottom of the Whisper White panel.
  3. Prep the top portion of the Whisper White panel with a powder bag, stamp the flowers with VersaMark ink and sprinkle with Gold embossing powder. Heat set the flowers and let cool.
  4. Wrap the left side of the panel with a piece of Soft Sky ribbon and make a bow from the same ribbon.
  5. Stamp the sentiment on a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock using VersaMark ink, sprinkle with Gold embossing powder and heat set. Flag the right side of the sentiment strip, pop up on dimensionals and place under the embossed flowers. Add the bow as pictured.
Finish off the inside of the card with a personal message.

Hang Your Stocking Christmas card 7-28-19

Hello crafters and welcome to some Christmas inspiration on the blog today. I am in the process of using up my stash and making as many cards as possible before the hustle bustle of the season begins. The card for today features the Hang Your Stocking stamp set and Festive Farmhouse DSP (designer series paper). I stamped the stocking and the sentiment using Cherry Cobbler ink and then stamped the snowflakes with VersaMark ink and heat set with some silver embossing powder. I love how this card came out and more inspiration is on the way. Take a look at the project below and please let me know what you think. Supplies used: . I also popped up the focal image using Scotch 3M Foam tape. I hope you have enjoyed today's project and will check back often for more inspiration. Thank you for visiting.

Graceful Garden friendship card

Here's my second card for the weekend. I just can't stop with the butterflies and I wanted to feature the ink colors in a clean and simple card. Sequins just had to be added for a little sparkle. The colors I used will be retiring soon so if you like them go and grab then while you can. I hope you'll take a look at the project below and let me know what you think. Supplies:

Happy Valentine's Day

Hello and welcome to the first Valentine's card I have created for this year. I had to switch card making mode after making so many Christmas cards. This one was hard for me to finish off after having all of the elements cut and had some help coming up with the finishing touches like the sentiment placement and heart sequins. All of the papers used are Stampin' Up as well as the heart sequins. I really like how this one turned out and hope you will as well. Take a look at the project below and let me know what you think. . Supplies: .
