Simple Bloom with Hope

I have another sympathy card share today, it is a very simple design using the Bloom with Hope stamp set (remember if you REALLY want this one, you have to get it before the end of the month and it is also one of the hostess sets). 



 

 

Supplies:

Bloom with Hope

Hello Honey, Blackberry Bliss ink

Blackberry Bliss, Very Vanilla, Old Olive card stock

In color buttons (SAB 2015)

Butterfly Sympathy

 

I always like to have at least one sympathy card in my stamp a stack rotation and this is currently one of the ones I am using.  It includes a piece of the Simply Irresistible specialty paper (SAB 2015) behind the butterflies and sentiment.

 

Supplies:

Bloom with Hope

Blush Blossom, Wild Wasabi and Soft Suede ink

Whisper White and Bashful Blue (retired) card stock

butterfly punches

Simply Irresistible specialty paper (SAB 2015)

Bloom with Hope

This is the last day to order from the Year End Closeouts and the Holiday catalog!  Don't miss out if you had some products you really wanted!

 

 

I have a sympathy card to share with you today that uses the Bloom with Hope stamp set and a retired sentiment. 

 

 

It is one that is currently in my Stamp A Stack collection and has been a hit.  In addition to the retired sentiment, I have used the retired ink color, Primrose Petals.

 

Supplies:

Bloom with Hope

Primrose Petals, Mossy Meadow ink and markers

Whisper White, Chocolate Chip card stock

 

 

 

Take Out Celebrate Box

 

Have you tried the cute little takeout boxes that are in the Holiday catalog on page 10?  They are super easy to put together - cut out and scored for you.  

 

I randomly stamped some flowers on this one and added a little ribbon and a tag. Quick and simple for a little gift, some goodies or even a gift card.

 

Supplies:

Takeout Box

Bloom with Hope

Tangelo Twist ink

Whisper White, Daffodil Delight card stock

Tangelo Twist stitched satin ribbon

hodgepodge clips assortment

 

Bloom with Hope Sympathy

There are a few of the Love Story Project Life cards that I really wanted to have more of so I purchased the digital version in order to print them myself.  That way, I can also re size them to fit my projects.

 



 

The lines and flowers next to the sentiment on this card were printed with My Digital Studio and the Love Story Project Life collection, I just reduced the size a little bit.

 

 

Supplies:

Bloom with Hope

My Digital Studio

Memento Black ink

Basic Gray, Marina Mist, Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White card stock

Color Me Autumn

Well, I actually didn't intend to send you two posts yesterday, but will blame it on lack of sleep :)  Hope you enjoyed them anyway!!

 

Today I have a card I made for a customer order that uses the Bloom with Hope stamp set and some Color Me Autumn designer series paper.  One thing I really like about the dsp is that it incorporates both Very Vanilla and Whisper White (not on the same designs).  I tend to go more toward Whisper White than Very Vanilla, but I like using them both.

 



 

I added a little bow made with the Stitched Satin Blackberry Bliss ribbon as well for a little accent.

 

 

Supplies:

Bloom with Hope

Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow ink

Soft Suede, Mossy Meadow and Whisper White card stock

Color Me Autumn dsp

Blackberry Bliss Stitched Satin ribbon

 

 

Poppy Sympathy

 

There is lots of color on color going on with this simple sympathy card.  I have a layer of Crumb Cake on top of a Crumb Cake base and I also used the same color ink to stamp the Pleasant Poppies image. 

 

The sentiment is stamped with Old Olive ink on the same color paper as well.  I always like the effect of color on color and it gives a nice subdued look.

 

Supplies:

Bloom with Hope, Pleasant Poppies

Crumb Cake, Old Olive ink

Crumb Cake, Old Olive card stock

basic pearls

 

Watercolored Sympathy

On this sympathy card, I used some watercolor paper and my aqua painter for a washed out background.  The flowers and sentiment are from the Bloom with Hope stamp set (hostess set) and I added some embossed Mossy Meadow card stock behind it.

 



 

If you haven't tried this cotton ribbon yet, you don't know what you are missing!  It is really quite easy to work with and looks great on projects as well.

 

 

Supplies:

Bloom with Hope

Night of Navy, Strawberry Slush, Marina Mist ink

Mossy Meadow, Watercolor paper and Whisper White card stock

Modern Mosaic folder

1/4" Marina Mist cotton ribbon

aqua painter

Moving the Deco Label

 You have seen this post once, but I will share it again in the right timeframe for the challenge :)  (I had two challenges reversed and posted the wrong one first last time!)
 

The Late Night Stamper's Challenge right now is movement cards.  Chose to make a deco label move from the outside to the inside when it is opened.  

 

On the front of the card base, I cut half a deco framelit and then used my bone folder to fold the cut half open.  Then I added the same size deco framelit over the top of the cut half (you would just put adhesive on one side right now). 

 

On the inside there are some panels and I attached the other half of the full size deco label to the panel so it looks like this when you open it. 

 

I chose the Flashback designer series paper to decorate the panels and the front and used the Bloom with Hope stamp set on the Deco label and the sentiment.

 

Supplies:

Bloom with Hope

Kraft card stock

Pool Party, Very vanilla card stock

Wisteria Wonder, Pear Pizzazz and Memento Black inks

Deco label framelits

Flashback dsp

Brights buttons

sticky strip

Simple, Simple

 

Today's sample is even more simple than yesterday!  I layered a piece of Whisper White onto a Pear Pizzazz base and use the Gorgeous Grunge, Bloom with Hope and Yippee Skippee stamp sets.  

To the middle of the flower, I added some Hello Honey ink with a sponge dauber.

Typeset Sympathy

I have needed several sympathy cards again lately so I thought I would make a few more to have on hand.  This one uses a piece of the Typeset specialty paper along with the Gifts of Kindness and Bloom with Hope stamp sets.

 



 

I added a strip of Flashback designer series paper to the bottom and some Lost Lagoon stitched satin ribbon to the side.

 

Supplies:

Gifts of Kindness,  Bloom with Hope

Traveler Birthday and Blog Candy Winner

 

Well we only had 3 people try for my Blog Candy I guess and the winner is Vicki!  Congrats, please e-mail me your mailing address so I can send out your goodies :) 

 

I have chosen a masculine theme for today's card using the Traveler stamp set and Typeset specialty paper.  I layered some modern label punches for my sentiment (from Bloom with Hope) and added a few neutrals buttons as well.

 

I think this combination of specialty paper and stamp set go together pretty well and will probably use it together often.

 

Supplies:

Traveler, Bloom with Hope

Black Stazon ink

Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Crumb Cake card stock

Typeset specialty paper

Neutrals buttons

Modern label punch

Blended Birthday

 

Well, here is that Blended Bloom image again, but this time I used some Rich Razzleberry Blendabilities markers on it along with the Daffodil Delight Blendabilities for the center.  I have never worked with alcohol markers before so I have a lot of work ahead of me to master using them!!

 

The center of the flower is cut out and popped up which gives it a nice 3d effect.  I used a little Moonlight designer series paper and a sentiment from Bloom with Hope.  The ribbon is the Blackberry Bliss stitched satin and it is so easy to work with! 

 

Supplies:

Blended Bloom, Bloom with Hope

Blackberry Bliss ink

Daffodil Delight and Rich Razzleberry blendabilities

Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White, Hello Honey card stock

June Stamp Club projects

 

It is time to share my monthly stamp club projects with you again!  This time my layout uses elements from the Everyday Adventure Project Life series and my cards are made with new hostess sets - Bloom with Hope and Let Your Hair Down.

 

In addition to the Everyday Adventure Project Life Card Collection and Accessory Pack, I also used the Cards and Labels Framelits Dies for the layouts.  There is a little bit of fun stamping on the page on the left as well using the Project Life Point and Click stamp set.

 

My photo mats and framelit elements are in the colors Pear Pizzazz, Crushed Curry and Bermuda Bay.

 

I chose to showcase a couple of new In Colors on this card using Hello Honey and Tangelo Twist.

 

And finally, I used a little Moonlight designer series paper along with the Let your hair down and Work of art stamp sets.

 

Like the projects?  I always have room in my monthly stamp club or my virtual clubs!  Come on over and join us!!

2014-2016 In Color Sympathy Cards

I saw some cute samples of cards created with the new 2014-2016 In colors and the Bloom with Hope stamp set on Pinterest made by Kirsteen Gill and the cards below were inspired by those...

 



 

On the first set, I used White Craft ink and it is pretty easy to see which colors work the best with this combination - the Hello Honey is a little harder to see than the others.

 

I just love this stamp set - both the sayings and the images!  It is a hostess set in the new catalog.

 

Next, I did the same thing with Stazon Black ink and again, one color doesn't work the best with this combination, this time it is the Blackberry Bliss. 

 

Supplies:

Bloom with Hope

Black Stazon, White Craft inks

Whisper White, Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon, Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow and Tangelo Twist card stock

Modern label punch

Traveler

A little something more masculine today using the new Traveler stamp set and some retiring Soho Subway designer series paper. 

 



 

The background on the paper makes putting the card together a snap!  I just stamped my image and sentiment with Early Espresso and poof - done!

 

Supplies:

Bloom with Hope

Traveler

Soho Subway dsp

Basic Black, Crumb Cake card stock

Early Espresso ink

Modern Label punch
