kindness

This set was not originally on my list of must-haves but it quickly ended up there once I saw examples of  it on Pinterest.  Ahhhh Pinterest ... the wonderful, wonderful world of Pinterest.  This set is perfect for one layer cards as you can see by the card I'm sharing here.

stamps - kinda eclectic

inks - so saffron, wild wasabi, pool party, blushing bride, basic gray

paper - whisper white

accessories - basic rhinestones, stampin' dimensionals, bitty butterfly punch

courage

Had stamp club the other night and this is one of the cards we made.

This is probably my favorite saying from the "Something to Say" set.  (The inside is stamped with the "you've got me" stamp from this set.)  I also fell in love with the Lullaby dsp and decided I just had to have it.

stamps - something to say

inks - baked brown sugar, blushing bride

papers - whisper white, coastal cabana, baked brown sugar, lullaby dsp

accessories - itty bitty accents punch pack, apothecary accents framelits

just for you

This is the card I created for my father-in-law for Father's Day.  He's a pretty down to Earth kind of guy so I figured the good ol' standby of Lovely as a Tree would work well for his card.

stamps - hardwood background, lovely as a tree, gorgeous grunge, banner banter

inks - sahara sand, mossy meadow, early espresso

papers - naturals ivory, mossy meadow

accessories - banner punch, window frames framelits (top & bottom cut off), sponge dauber

with sympathy

I know, I know ... another sympathy card.  This one I created to meet a request for a card club I meet with once a month.

I'm really liking Lost Lagoon ... one of the new In-Colors.  I'm also really liking the stitched satin ribbon for the new In-Colors as well.  They're easy to tie and lay nice & flat too.

stamps - hardwood background, bloom with hope, petite petals, something to say

inks - sahara sand

papers - lost lagoon, island indigo, naturals ivory

accessories - window frames framelits, petite petals punch, itty bitty accents punch pack, lost lagoon stitched ribbon, festive paper piercing pack, basic pearls

with sympathy

Sympathy cards are difficult.  Difficult to make.  Difficult to give.  Difficult to receive.  

I made this card for a long-time friend who also happens to be one of my sisters-in-law.

stamps - daydream medallions, bloom with hope, papaya collage (r), elements of style (r)

inks - chocolate chip, crumb cake, rose red, mossy meadow, pink pirouette

papers - very vanilla, crumb cake

accessories - floral frames framelits, lacy brocade embossing folder (r), basic pearls

grateful

This card is made with one of the new hostess sets.  I really like the sayings and the fonts that were created for this set.  I will most likely be using this one a lot this next catalog year.  Just a little "proud mama" bragging here - my 14 year old son helped me create this card.  He's got a pretty good eye, doesn't he?

stamps - let your hair down

inks - basic black

papers - whisper white, real red, smoky slate, pool party, basic gray, i am me DSP

accessories - banner punch, deco labels framelits, circle framelits, stampin' dimensionals
