Sending Comfort

Today I have another sympathy card to share with you, I made quite a few different styles recently for a customer...This one again uses the Flourishing Phrases stamp set, but not for the sentiment, this time for the flower. 

The sentiment is from the Suite Seasons stamp set and I added some Crumb Cake ribbon in one corner attaching it in the back with some washi tape to hold it in place.

Supplies:

Suite Seasons, Flourishing Phrases

Perfect Plum, Wild Wasabi ink

Very Vanilla, Wild Wasabi card stock

Crumb Cake taffeta ribbon

Halloween came and went without me posting these little treat bags I made for our neighbor's granddaughters.  I put pieces of Halloween Night specialty paper inside a cello bag, added some candy and then put on a topper using the same paper. 

I added a tag stamped with the Suite Seasons stamp set and decorated it with Halloween Night enamel dots and metallic enamel shapes. 

I used the Tag Topper punch to make the hole and added some Glitter ribbon.

Supplies:

Suite Seasons

Basic Black ink

Whisper White card stock

Halloween night specialty paper

Tag topper punch

Metallic enamel shapes

Halloween Night enamel dots

Cello bags

This card came about because I had some scraps lying around that I wanted to use.  The Fabulous foil designer acetate in the background is the only piece that I didn't actually re cut to make the card though...

A couple layers of matted Blooms and Bliss designer series paper wrapped in some gold bakers twine from the Baker's twine trio pack sits behind the sentiment from the Suite Seasons stamp set.

Supplies:

Suite Seasons

Sweet Sugarplum ink

Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Mint Macaron card stock

September Stamp Club Projects

It is time to share my monthly stamp club projects with you again.  This time around I created a layout using the Pop of Pink specialty paper and used some items from the Holiday catalog for the cards.

The first card uses the This Christmas specialty paper and Wonder of Christmas stamp set.  I colored in the angel with markers and the Wink of Stella glitter brush.

The second card uses the Halloween Night specialty paper, Ghoulish grunge stamp set and Suite Seasons stamp set along with some Halloween night enamel dots.

The layout this month leaves lots of open space for the user to add a title, journaling, embellishments or just leave as white space.  I cut the designer series paper at an angle for the left page and have added some washi tape and little banners as accents.

If these look like fun to you and you think you might like to join us for stamp club - contact me here for more information about both my monthly club and my every other month virtual clubs!

Happy Always

Today's card has brought me back to the versatile stamp set called Suite Seasons.  This time I have added the Pine Bough folder to the mix in my background and also used some Candy Cane Lane baker's twine. 

I decided to add some dots to look like red berries on my sentiment layer as well since I wanted to add a little pop of color.

Supplies:

Suite Seasons

Garden Green ink

Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Night of Navy card stock

Pine Bough folder

Candy Cane Lane baker's twine

brights dots

Vampire, Witches and Ghosts!

I can't say that I make a lot of Halloween cards or projects, but I always make a few for fun and try to pick just one Halloween stamp set each time the new ones come out for that reason.  This time I picked a couple versatile sets - Suite Seasons and Ghoulish Grunge. 

They are paired with some Halloween Night specialty paper, and as I have shown you in a couple other projects, this paper can be used for non-Halloween things too. 

I always love enamel dots for accents so I have added some Halloween Night enamel dots and some Pop of Pink washi tape to finish off the card.

Supplies:

Ghoulish Grunge, Suite Seasons

Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Smoky Slate ink

Delightful Dijon, Whisper White, Basic Black cards tock

Pop of Pink washi tape

Halloween night enamel dots

In Everything

This fall has been a difficult one for harvest (and we are just starting!) but even though things have been tough, we always have to remember that there are others in worse situation and give thanks for that.  This card has that idea in mind with a sentiment from the Suite Seasons stamp set.

I chose some Halloween night specialty paper to go along with it and stamped some images from the Timeless Textures stamp set in the background.

Supplies:

Suite Seasons, Timeless Textures

Smoky Slate, Pumpkin Pie ink

Basic Black, Whisper White, Smoky Slate card stock

Halloween night specialty paper

Give Thanks

I have another altered craft store find to share with you today.  I found a 5 pack of these wooden pieces, they are about 8 1/2" x 11" in the clearance section and knew I could find some fun things to do with them. In fact two of my nieces and my daughter made their own versions of this project too!

I started off using the Timeless Textures stamp set and randomly stamping the images in different colors - Soft Suede, Pool Party, Soft Sky, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand...then I added some denim paint that I had left over from some other projects just kind of brushing it in random spots. 

I added some lace trim and burlap ribbon to the bottom and the started with my layers.  There is some Smoky Slate card stock embossed with the Cable Knit folder, Serene Scenery designer series paper and some chicken wire that I cut into about a 6" x 4" piece.

My sentiment is from the Suite Seasons stamp set, a very versatile holiday greeting set in the Holiday catalog. 

I also used a couple retired Stampin' Up! items, I always love the little flowers and have many of them left over to play with now and then!
