Get Well & Sympathy

Today’s card features the Wild Roses Background stamp pictured on page 118 of the annual 2021-2022 catalog. I began with a Rich Razzelberry card base and added some color using the Stampin’ Blending Brushes. I only used two colors, Rich Razzelberry and Crushed Currry.

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

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!
