Get Well & Sympathy

Today I am sharing with you a sweet sympathy card I made for a friend who recently lost her mom. This card was created using the Everyday Details Bundle. There is something so soft and sweet about this Robin’s nest of eggs and I do hope it brings my friend a little bit of comfort during this time of sorrow.

Losing a loved one is always so difficult and many of you know that no matter how old we get, the loss of your mom is a difficult cross to endure.

I began with a Pool Party card base and stamped my Robin’s nest with some Memento Black ink. I also stamped the greeting with Memento Black. The greeting is from Something Fancy pictured on page 34 of the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.

I colored the image with our Stampin’ Blend markers, Old Olive, Bronze and Pool Party. Finish off your card with some bling of your choice. I added one of our Tinsel Gems.

It think this is going to be a very popular bundle. The samples in the catalog are super sweet and this makes not only a great sympathy card but would also make an amazing Mother’s Day card, thinking of you, and birthday card. Happy Stamping!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

On Monday I posted a video on how to create a background using a watercoloring technique and today I am sharing a card that I created using that technique. I used Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, and Poppy Parade re-inkers to create my background. It is amazing how changing out the colors gets a different background every time.

I began with a Basic Black card base and added a layer of Highland Heather and then another layer of Basic Black before adding the watercolor layer. The greeting is from the Wanted to Say Dies and is cropped using Basic Black and Highland Heather cardstock.

Since it is cold and flu season I thought it might be a good idea to stock up on my get well soon cards. I hope you stay healthy! Happy Stamping.

Well it appears as though I am continuing with my theme of Mossy Meadow and Blackberry Bliss. Sometimes when I am getting my crafting on, I start creating with the same color schemes. Does that ever happen to you? I was recently crafting with my dear friend Sr. Bernard and I just could not get enough of the Mossy Meadow/ Blackberry Bliss combo.

You have to admit, these colors are perfect for a sympathy card and I love the look of these two sets together. But enough is enough, so I promise I will post a bold and bright card for Friday!!! Stop back and see what exciting colors I choose. I promise it won’t be Mossy Meadow or Blackberry Bliss. Happy Stamping!

A few weeks ago I posted an ocean scene card from Virginia Beach, click here if you missed that post. Unfortunately we are heading back to the ocean, not for a visit with my mother -in-law this time, but for her funeral. It is hard to believe that only 6 days after returning to St. Louis from a great visit the Lord called her home so quickly. Rest in Peace, mom! So of course I thought it would be appropriate to post an Ocean Sympathy card today.

I began with a Misty Moonlight card base and added a layer of Mossy Meadow. My Basic White CS measures 3¾ x 5 and that is where I did my blending. My ocean/sky was created with Balmy Blue and Misty Moonlight. You can use the Blending Brushes or sponges. I tend to be a sponge girl, but either will work.

The greenery is stamped with Mossy Meadow and Old Olive ink. The sandy beach and the rocks were stamped with Crumb Cake. With Deepest Sympathy is part of the Something Fancy stamp set that was featured last month in the mini and is now in our 2023-2024 annual catalog.

I almost forgot to mention the star of the show, Oceanfront. I do love this set and I love visiting the ocean, but I am sure this trip will be very different from 2 weeks ago. Check out this set, you won’t be disappointed. I hope this card inspires you to create something beautiful.
