A Sympathy Card

Hey Friends!!!

Just popping in with a card that I created for some challenges. One of my friends just lost her father and I wanted to make a sympathy card for her. This card was inspired by this weeks Freshly Made Sketches #741 and Just Add Ink #788.

This is not a clean and simple card. I used 49 and Market Faded Memory Lane paper, Filmstrip and Postage Laser Cuts, Faded Memory Lane Ephemera and Simon Says Stamp! With Sympathy stamp/die set for the sentiment.

Below are the badges of the challenges I am entering this card into.

I had fun distressing the images on this card and Vintage Photo Ink around the edges to get a distressed look.

Well, that is all from me today. Thank you for taking the time to stop by. have a FABULOUS day!!!

I have been going through using many of the products that I ordered last year and never used. I used the Kitchen Classics stamps and dies by Concord & 9th. I cut three scraps of pattern paper with bowl dies and the flowers from white cardstock.

A Card for Freshly Made Sketches #738

Hey Crafty Friends!! Happy Sunday! 

I am just popping in today with a card I created today for Freshly Made Sketches #738 and Simon Says Stamp! Wednesday Challenge-Anything Goes.

I used the Tweet Friend stamp and die set by Simon Says Stamp! for my stamped images. I did a bit of sewing with platinum thread behind my image.

I added some sequins around the images to give it some shine. Below is the Freshly Made Sketch #738 that inspired my card.

I had fun stamping and coloring the bird with Copic markers for this card. 

That is all from me today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

Always There Release at Simon Says Stamp!

Hello Friends!!!

Today I am popping in with a card for the Simon Says Stamp! "Always There" product release!!! They asked me to join them this month and sent me the "With Sympathy" stamp set to play with. I was so honored to be asked to be a part of this release.

I started off by stamping the branch image from the "With Sympathy" stamp set with Simon Says Stamp! Raindrop Pawsitively Saturated Ink. I have slowly been collecting all of their inks and this was the first time I used this color. It is so dramatic!!! 

I then used white Jelly Roll pen to add some white detailing inside the stamped images. It looks so good with the dark green.

I adhered my stamped panel over an A2 card green card base which just happened to match the Raindrop ink. Sometimes being a hoarder pays off!!!

I added an embossed sentiment from "With Sympathy" and used a few jewels from the SSS Cool Tones Pawsitively Dazzling Gems set to finish my card off. I LOVE how this came out and will be duplicating this card in other colors for my stash.

Hop on over to Simon Says Stamp! to see more of the new release. There are a TON of great examples from the designers.

Thats all from me today. Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

A NEW Challenge-Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #637

I LOVED making this card! Why? Because I used a background panel that I had stenciled YEARS ago from my stash!!! It made the card making process so easy!!!

The products I used were from The Greetery. I kind of stretched the peaches and cream color for this. I used vanilla cardstock for the back of my die cut sentiment, as well as the panel under the peaches.

These products go together but alas, are retired. This card was so fun to create!!
