Deepest Sympathy

I put together a few sympathy cards using the retired Graceful Glass designer vellum recently and paired it with the Painted Glass stamp set and retired Note Tag punch.  

After I colored the Graceful Glass designer vellum with Stampin'' Blends, I mounted it onto some Soft Seafoam card stock before adding it to the Very Vanilla card base.  

The sentiment is stamped with Night of Navy ink and I added an image from the same stamp set that was stamped off on scrap paper to lighten it up a little bit.

Supplies:

Painted Glass

Night of Navy, Smoky Slate ink

Stampin' Blends

Very Vanilla, Soft Seafoam card stock

Note Tag punch

I had fun playing with a few of the patterns of the Graceful Glass designer vellum collection again, coloring them in with Stampin' Blends.

I chose to use the coordinating stamp set called Painted Glass for the sentiments and a couple backgrounds and also paired the Wood Textures designer series paper with it.

The sentiments are die cut with the Stitched Shapes and Deco Label framelits.

The Needles & Thread and Beauty Abounds stamp sets were paired together to make the cards I have to share with you today.  One is on a Balmy Blue card base and the other on Whisper White.  

Each one has a 2 1/2" circle punched out from some Graceful Glass designer Vellum that was colored with Stampin' Blends.  The background images are stamped with Mint Macaron, Highland Heather and Night of Navy.

Just a Note

I think this is one of my favorite cards that I have made with the Graceful Glass designer vellum. Again like I did on the other cards I have shown you, I added some Whisper White card stock behind the vellum to make the colors pop out.  This time my background is the Wood Textures designer series paper matted on some Basic Black card stock. 

My sentiment is stamped on a piece of Old Olive and comes from the Wishing You Well stamp set.

Window Thoughts

Awhile back I shared some cards using the Graceful Glass designer vellum paper that had been colored with the Stampin' Blends.  I still have more to share since we colored the entire package at one time - these two pieces of vellum come on the same 6" x 6" sheet and I cut them down to fit on a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card.

The one on the left has a die cut from the Stitched Seasons framelits and the one on the right uses a piece from the Delightfully Detailed laser cut specialty paper.  Both use a sentiment from the Wishing You Well stamp set.

Doily Thank You

In keeping with the theme of the last several days, here are a few more cards made with the Graceful Glass designer vellum and Stampin' Blends markers.

The pattern on this sheet of vellum was also very easy to cut down since it had 6" long panels, I did have to waste part of the ends this way since the cards are 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".

For accents I added some delicate white doilies and the sentiment is from the Love What You Do stamp set.

Just a Note

Here are a few more cards made with the Graceful Glass designer vellum that I put together recently.  The background is created with my new favorite embossing folder, the Tin Tile Dynamic impressions folder on Basic Gray card stock.

The two sheets of designer vellum that I used for these cards had 4 panels of each of these images on them so cutting them down into 3" x 3" pieces was very simple since these vellum sheets are

 6" x 6".

I again used some Whisper White card stock behind the vellum before adding it to my Night of Navy mats.

The sentiment comes from the Wishing You Well stamp set and are punched out with the Classic Label punch.

Stained Glass Thank You

When I sat down to color the Graceful Glass designer vellum sheets, I found my kids decided it looked like fun.  They actually helped me get them all colored and ready to cut up and use on some cards which was great!  

On this card, I added Whisper White card stock behind the vellum before adding it to a Basic
Black piece so that the colors popped a little bit.  Then I added it to a starry night background from the Twinkle Twinkle designer series paper collection and added some red satin ribbon.

The sentiment is from the stamp set called Another Wonderful Year and is stamped in Night of Navy ink.
