Get Well & Sympathy

Daisy Garden Sympathy Favorite Things Friday

Happy Friday! I hope you had a blessed week and are ready to do some crafting this weekend. Today, I thought I would share a card I created with one of my favorite background stamps, Daisy Garden. While sending a sympathy card is never fun, it is important to let the people we care about know we are thinking of them and what better way then sending a hand-made card.

This card was stamped in the white craft ink and heat embossed with some white embossing powder. You can find the powder and heat tool on page 128 in the 2021-2022 annual catalog.

With Sympathy-Artistically Inked

Here is a card we created at stamp camp this month. I love the soft look of Mint Macaron and cannot wait to use other colors with this set. I am sure you will be seeing more of it in the future.

If you like this card, we created three other cards at stamp camp this month and it is not too late to place a $25 order and get the pdf instructions w/photos free.

If you live in the St. Louis area, stamp camp in person could be an option for you. Check out details on my Events Calendar!

The background of this card was created using the stamps from the bundle, but did you know this bundle has paper to match it? How sweet is that!

Taken, Blessed, Broken and Given-Sunday Wisdom

Today we are reminded once again of the great gift Jesus has given us in the Eucharist. When Christians gather to receive the Eucharist, we see Christ in everyone and how we are who we are, but we also hope to be more. We want to prepare our hearts to receive Jesus so that we can become His hands and feet, His eyes and ears and yes, His Most Sacred Heart, so we can be Christ to others.

The Lord has given us all plenty of opportunities to re-unite our hearts and will with His.  We are all called to experience God’s overwhelming love and mercy. Through His grace we are redeemed, worthy and loved. 

Yes, we are broken, but as Henri Nouwen writes, ”the words ‘taken’, ‘blessed’, ‘broken’, and ‘given’ summarize our lives as Christians because we are all called to become bread for the world, bread that is taken, blessed, broken and given.”

May the Lord be with all of you this day and strengthen each of you, today and always.

Painted Poppy-Comfort and Hope!

Yesterday I shared with you a cards that I created over the weekend when my daughter and I had a little crafting time together and as promised, here is the cards she created! She used the Stampin’ Blends to color the poppies! I will do my best to give you correct measurements as I forgot to measure them before she took the card home. LOL

  • Begin with a 5 ½ x11” piece of Poppy Parade cardstock. In landscape position, (aka the long side), score at 4 ¼”.   Fold and burnish.  This will create a card base.
  • Cut a 4 x 5¼’ piece of Basic Black cardstock and attach it to the card base.
  • Cut a 3¼ x 3¾” piece of Basic White cardstock and randomly stamp the poppy flowers and the single leaf in Memento Black ink.
  • Use the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers to color the flowers in Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzelberry and Poppy Parade. Color the leaves with Old Olive.
  • Attach this colored panel to the black panel on the card front. 
  • Next cut a 1-3/8 x 3 ¾” of Basic White cardstock and stamp the greeting from Comfort and Hope in Memento Black and attach to the card front leaving a gap of black as pictured in above image.

The Comfort and Hope set will be retiring at the end of the month and it is discounted-you read that correctly, it is on sale for $16.80, so now is a great time to add it to your collection. Don’t forget to use our host code! RYXTY496

With Sympathy and Painted Poppies!

I love that our Painted Poppies set is carrying over into the next annual catalog because it is such a sweet set and I love using the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers to bring out the colors! This set is great for any occasion, even the more solemn ones.

  • Begin with a Highland Heather card base that measures 5½ x 8½. In landscape position, (aka the long side) score at 4¼.  Fold and burnish.  This will create a card base.
  • Cut a 4 x 5 ¼” panel from Basic Black and attach it to the card front. 
  • Next cut a 3 ¾ x 5” piece of Basic White and stamp the garden of poppies from the Painted Poppy set across the bottom.  Color the poppies with some Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers.  I used Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo and Dark Balmy Blue.
  • Stamp the big poppy on a piece of Basic White scrap and color it with the light and dark Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends.  Fussy cut it out with some paper snips and add it to the poppy garden with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
  • Stamp the “With Sympathy” greeting from Vine Designs in Memento Black ink.
  • For the inside, cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Basic White cardstock and stamp the greeting from Peaceful Moments in Memento Black ink.  Add the other large poppy from Painted Poppies and color with the Highland Heather combo pack of Stampin’ Blends.

Although I needed a sympathy card, this would make a great Easter card as well. The multi-colored poppies really bring out a bit of Spring!
