Sympathy cards are not really the ones we want to send but they do give huge comfort to the family. Today’s card has a sympathy greeting but the design would work for any other occasion such as a birthday or thank you.
I chose the Pop of Petals and Kindness and Compassion stamp sets for this card as the Pop of Petals set is all images without any greetings.
I just love this card – it has flowers, it has pink, it has lace and it has sparkle – all my favorites in one tidy package.
The sidestep fold is very impressive looking but is easy to do if you have a good paper trimmer with a scoring blade as well as cutting blade – which is exactly what the Stampin Trimmer is! The fold also gives you lots of surfaces to decorate which is how I have managed to get all my favorites in 🙂 Continue reading
I have become addicted to cards with a Z fold of some kind, this must be the 8th or 9th one I have created in the last couple of months! This one is in landscape format and I used the Pop of Petals Stamp Set to create my own Designer Series Paper.
I really love the clean lines and fresh colors of this card, but it would work in just about any color combination you can think of – why not give it a go and create your own DSP!
Last week I shared a scrapbook page as part of the September’s Ink and Share Scrapbook Blog Hop. I had a few of the pieces left over when I finished the page and could not bear to throw them away – I thought they would make a good card and also show how scrapbooking and card-making with Stampin’ UP! products is so very easy.
I have been using Vellum Card quite a bit in my projects recently and I wanted to show how it can be stamped on and used as an embellishment as well as a layer. As so often happens when I am creating I ‘lost’ something on my workbench (of course it was right under my nose!) but I spent a few minutes searching for it and came across my ‘Wink of Stella‘ ~ now that is something that I have not used for some time.
Along with the Pop of Petals Stamp set, I used both of these beauties to create today’s card. If you scroll down a little way you will also see the video showing how I used the Wink of Stella on the Vellum.
Welcome to the 2nd in Ink & Share Scrapbook blog hop, I am delighted to be taking part again.
You will have either arrived from Rebecca Jo’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME . This month’s theme is a sketch challenge! ~ we were given a sketch as inspiration. I have never used a sketch for a scrapbook page before so this certainly is a challenge for me!
Once again I have chosen to use a 12 x 12 page – mainly because Stampin’ UP! has 12 x 12 card stock in all its colors which gives me a fantastic choice but also because they have the 12 x 12 Page Protectors and Albums.
