Unforgettable Sympathy Card

Hello dear friends. Welcome back!

I used a corner punch on some of the layers and Tim Holtz Thinlits die Stitched Squares. The gems are an older set by Prima, and for my tag I did some collaging.

Prima Mix Sympathy Pocket Card

Hello! Happy Monday to you all!

I hope your neck of the woods is warmer than ours is today. Snow and freezing cold... that's the sum of it. We do have some sunshine though, so that's a positive.

I created one last Prima mix card before putting it all away and pulling out some new stock. I grabbed a Tim Holtz ephemera pack and added in a piece along with Metallic Kraft bronze paper. For the two bottom layers, I used the MFT Die-namics Stitched Rectangle die set.

The flowers are by both Prima and 49 and Market. The foliage is cut with Sizzix TH Thinlits Festive Greens. This is one of my favorite foliage die sets and I seem to rely on it year round. I love the soft sage greens of these flowers and the green tones in the papers. Very comforting colors.

Wishing you a warm and wonderful week... inside if not out.

Remembering Sympathy Pocket Card

Hi friends! Happy 2019!

I'm checking back in after a brief absence with a sympathy pocket card. This one is going in our eBay shop, not being sent out to anyone, thankfully. 

I dug into my Prima stash to create this card, choosing an older collection. I teamed it with some Kaisercraft ephemera from their Collectibles collection along with a bit of old ecru lace

The flower and foliage are by 49 and Market. The berry spray is from Darice. The black and white leaves were fussy cut from a scrap of Prima paper. 

It was a challenge to get back in my craft room and stand at my desk after weeks of non-crafting. I'm hoping I can repeat this process and get back into the swing of card creating. It truly is one of my favorite activities.

I hope you'll have a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by!

Using My Stash Featuring Pink Paislee

Hi Friends... Happy Monday!

I hope you had a great weekend. Our weather here is fabulous and for enjoyment I did a lot of reading and relaxing on the patio. 

Due to my health problems, I've decided to quit selling my cards in our eBay shop. This is one I had recently made and sold. The base is from Pink Paislee's Hope Chest. This collection is a great favorite of mine and thankfully I have some stashed away. The other papers are by Prima... older ones as well.

The flowers and leaves for this card are all from I Am Roses. The blue pearl trim and lace are also from my stash of older treasures. I love when I can add some of these much prized elements to a project.

For the dies I used Spellbinder's Fleur De Lis Squares and Alterations Thinlits Stitched Squares. My sentiment is from Altenew's Heartfelt Sentiments clear stamp set. The antiqued metal corner's are older discontinued pieces from Momenta.

Sending you wishes for a wonderful week and 

thanks for stopping by!

Very Vintage Sympathy Pocket Card

Hello there!

This card was an unusual experience in the making as, although it's a sympathy card, it was a joy to make. It went into my shop, so thankfully, I wasn't creating it to send. The happy part was in all the older materials I was able to use to put it together.

I believe the only recently bought product is from Prima. I purchase new flowers constantly and these are all from their newer collections. 

My favorite elements are the vintage doily pieces, digi bird image printed quite a long while back, and the old ephemera. They just make me smile. I hope this card will be a comfort to someone at some rough time in their life.

Prima Love Story Sympathy Pocket Card

Hi and welcome!

For today's card I pulled out more of the Prima Love Story collection... the 6x6 paper pad, some of the 12x12, and the ephemera pack. It's all teamed with Echo Park's 6x6 Dots & Stripes Valentines light pink paper and some light pink cardstock. 

The flowers and leaf are from Prima as well.

I used Spellbinder's Oval Floral and classic Circles die sets. The sentiment is from the Altenew Heartfelt Sentiments set.
The weekend's coming up fast... have a great one!

In Love with Prima Lavender

Hello there dear friends!

Loving this Prima Lavender collection. Here's another I created with it.

This one's a bit more simple... not as many layers nor embellishments. I did heat emboss the sentiment though, with Ranger Silver Embossing Powder.

The flowers are from I Am Roses, and the half pearls are by Hero Arts. The laser-cut wood butterfly is from my stash of those I purchased in the Smoky Mountains.

Hope you're having a fantastic week.

Prima Lavender Sympathy Pocket Card

Hello and Happy Easter Weekend!

I have a sympathy card today made with the lovely Lavender collection by Prima. I've used both the 12x12 sheets and the 6x6 paper pad. The base is from another older collection, Nature Walk from 7 Dots Studio.

For this card I pulled out my I Am Roses flowers simply because they have such beautiful lavender and purple shades in their flower selections. I used two of the Alteration Thinlits Stitched die sets... the Stitched Squares and the Stitched Circles. The pearl trim is from Pat Catans. The half pearls are by Hero Arts.

Have a wonderful weekend and very Happy Easter!
He is risen!

Thinking of You During This Difficult Time

Hello dear friends! Thanks for stopping by!

It's a rainy, cold Monday here... perfect weather for crafting. So, I will!

I have a simple Thinking of You card today. This is the type that are so hard to create... for a friend who has lost a loved one.
I pulled out a Kaisercraft paper pad along with a sheet of Neenah Classic Crest 110 lb Solar White cardstock for my card base. I've been using this cardstock non-stop since I received my first sheet in a Simon Says Stamp monthly card kit. The weight is just perfect. Along with these papers, I added some Metallic Kraft and an ephemera butterfly by Tim Holtz. The stamping was done with Altenew's Thinking of You set. Very straight forward... no frills.
Now back to my craft room for some serious creating!

Have a great Monday!
