Get Well & Sympathy

Comfort and Hope-Sympathy

The need for a sympathy card is always a somber occasion and all the more reason why our hand-made cards are so important in the lives of others. I had the need for such a card just last week and while it is always hard to say good-bye to a loved one, there is also hope that all is well in the kingdom of heaven.

Perhaps you too have had the need to send a sympathy card recently or maybe you received one and it brought you comfort and hope. That is precisely why I think it is so important for us all to reach out to one another in times of need.

My card today was created using the Comfort and Hope set on page 88 in the Annual Catalog (AC). I love the faux gem look and you can create gems in any color! How fantastic is that?

  • Begin with a Misty Moonlight card base 5 ½ x 8 ½. Score in landscape position at 4 ¼”.
  • On a 4 x 5¼” piece of white cardstock, stamp the rings stamp in Old Olive ink near the bottom right corner.   
  • In Misty Moonlight ink add some faux gems using the stamp of three gems on the top and bottom of the Old Olive rings.
  • Punch out a strip of Misty Moonlight cardstock with the Lovely Label pick a punch.  Punch on both ends.  
  • Stamp the greeting in Misty Moonlight ink on a scrap of white cardstock and cut it out using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine and the Stitched rectangle dies and adhere to the Misty Moonlight strip.
  • Stamp the greeting in Misty Moonlight ink on a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of white cardstock and attach to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.

I hope you like this simple, but unfortunately necessary card. Stop back tomorrow for some more crafting fun!

Celebrating Friends

I absolutely love the Flowers for All Seasons Designer Series Paper. It has such a great variety of flowers. I want to give a shout out to my good friend Sally Nusbaum for this card design. Sally designed this for a virtual event a few months ago and I tweaked it just a bit by adding a little bling and changing up the sentiment, but I just love the new In-colors Sally used. The Bumble Bee and the Just Jade go so well together. Thanks Sally-you’re the best!

Forever in our hearts!

A dear friend of mine had to put her dog to sleep yesterday so I was hoping this card would help her to know that it is not silly to miss our furry friends, after all they are a part of our everyday lives and forever in our hearts. We had to put our cat “Fireball” to sleep several years ago and it was very hard to say good-bye even though we know it was the best for him. He was with us for 16 years! For all our beloved furry friends who are having a blast in doggie heaven with St. Francis.

It seems that I have been sending out get well soon cards more and more frequently lately. I am so in love with the Forever Fern stamp set and I created my own designer series paper just by using the images from this stamp set. I love this set because it is so versatile and because the designers at Stampin’ UP! are so amazing, they have created matching paper. As luck would have it you can now save 15%, yup you read that correctly, it is on sale now! Happy Stamping!
