There’s often little time to create a sympathy card. However, the power of loving words and a prompt handmade card can mean so much. Today’s card is simple but delivers a caring message (Stampin’ Up! Love & Sympathy) both inside and out. STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS: Midnight Muse, Sahara Sand and Very Vanilla look crisp and ... More Photos & Full Details

Greetings, Stampers! I hope you'll all be enjoying your Super Bowl Sunday later today. I'm not a big football fan, but I do like watching the commercials! While the men in the family are watching the big game, I'll likely slink away to my craft room to see what I can create. Today is also a new Paper Players challenge! This week is a theme challenge by Nance, to create a Sympathy card. What better way to show that you truly care than with a thoughtful handmade card? Love and Sympathy is my…

Our theme today is Summer. One of the things I love about summer is the rich greens all around. Kicking off your flip flops and running through the cool green grass, staring up at the leafy tops of the trees while laying in the hammock, or simply enjoying the beautiful greens in the garden.

It is serendipity how challenges work together sometimes. This card was started in my mind with the CASual Fridays Challenge to use both Flowers & Chevrons. I had a Cuttlebug embossing folder and Memory Box die out on my desk, but hadn't found the time to put together a card yet. Yesterday Cath posted the new Tuesday Trigger: Magical Magnolias at Moxie Fab World and Arielle posted this week's Colour Q Challenge which inspired me to get this card done. Now, I realize my flower die is not the…

Hello, all! We have a beautiful day here in Katy. I love days like this. The sun is shining, not a cloud in the sky, and I'm wearing shorts and flip-flops on February 22nd. That's why I love Texas and that's why I live in Texas! I've been doing some stamping. Unfortunately, sometimes we need to make sympathy cards. I have a dear friend whose father passed away over the weekend. I think this card is a nice card for a sympathy card, but when you have a classic design like this, it really is…

I don't usually create so many layers on my cards, but I felt that this truly looks stunning with all it's lovely layers. My sister-in-law's Uncle just passed away from Esophageal cancer... and the ribbon color for that type of cancer is periwinkle. Now, periwinkle is a grayish-purple color... so I chose the Wisteria Wonder as my main color. I know it's not periwinkle, but it's the closest I could come up with. I broke up the sentiment 'With Sympathy', so it was stacked instead of in a line…

You know how much I like to participate in the Dynamic Duo weekly challenges, and this week, the colour challenge really appealed to me: Now I don't have any River Rock, but I do have Fine Linen (Papertrey Ink) and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with these colours. I love it when a card comes together this easily - and turns out exactly as you hoped it would. Of course getting to use that beautiful butterfly stamp/punch set (Stampin' Up) pretty much always makes me happy. What can I say…
