Special Reason Sympathy

Another sympathy card to share with you again today, I have needed a few lately and like to have a variety on hand.  This one uses the Special Reason and Heartfelt Sympathy stamp sets and some of the Bundle of Love specialty paper.

I also used the Stitched shapes framelits and framed my flower images in the center of the card.

Supplies:

Special Reason, Heartfelt Sympathy

Perfect Plum, Pear Pizzazz, Pool Party ink

Very Vanilla, Early Espresso card stock

Bundle of Love specialty paper

In color doily

enamel dots

Stitched shapes framelits

Special Reason Birthday

This is another card in my current Stamp A Stack rotation using the Special Reason stamp set from the Occasions catalog we had this spring.  I would have liked to see this set and the coordinating framelits in the new catalog, but I know they can't keep everything!  

The layers are cut out using the Stitched Shapes framelits (I bet you can tell from my posts that is one of my favorites!!) and I added some Bundle of Love specialty paper.

Supplies:

Special Reason

Pink Pirouette, Pear Pizzazz ink

Very Vanilla, Early Espresso card stock

Bundle of Love specialty paper

Stitched shapes framelits

For You Carton

I ordered some of these cute mini egg cartons months ago and haven't played with them yet so I decided it was about time!  This one is decorated using the Stylish stems framelits and Special Reason stamp set.

I cut out a flower using the Glimmer paper pack (SAB 2017) and added a full flower underneath before sponging some Sweet Sugarplum ink on the Whisper White.

The designer series paper is from the Succulent Garden collection and I added a lace doily, button and linen thread to finish off the top.

Supplies:

Special Reason

Whisper White card stock

Sweet Sugarplum, Pear Pizzazz ink

Succulent Garden dsp

Glimmer paper pack (SAB 2017)

lace doily

March Stamp Club Projects

This month I chose mostly products that are in the Sale-a-bration and Occasions catalogs to use for our projects. 

The first card uses the T-shirt framelits, Custom Tee stamp set and Urban Underground specialty paper to make a masculine birthday card.

The second card incorporates the Special Reason stamp set, Stylish Stems framelits and the glimmer paper (SAB 2017) for a feminine birthday card...

And finally, the layout uses the Carried Away designer series paper (SAB 2017) and coordination card stock colors.

Remember, I always have room for more in both my virtual stamp clubs (every other month) and my monthly stamp club!  Contact me for more details.

For Your Kindness

Since I missed a couple days of posting last week, I thought I would give you two cards today, both with the same theme but a few differences...

I chose to use the Special Reason stamp set that is in the Occasions catalog along with the So Very Much set in the Sale-a-bration catalog.  One of the cards also uses the Delicate Details set (also Sale-a-bration).

On the first one, I chose to use some Cupcakes and Carousels designer series paper in my background and added lots of tiny little basic pearls to the flower centers.

The second card has a stamped image from the Delicate Details set in the background as well as a piece of Early Espresso card stock. I also added a piece of Peekaboo Peach ruched ribbon to the corner of the sentiment layer.

Supplies:

So Very Much (SAB 2017), Delicate Details (SAB 2017), Special Reason

Early Espresso, Peekaboo Peach, Wisteria Wonder, Wild Wasabi, So Saffron ink

Very Vanilla, So Saffron, Early Espresso card stock

Cupcakes and Carousels dsp

basic pearls

ruched ribbon

lace trim

February Stamp Club projects

This month I incorporated the Pretty Pocket cards - a Sale-a-bration free item - into my 12" x 12" layout using it as a journaling card and holder. 

It took a little bit of cutting on the card base to make that work, but you could also probably just attach the whole card base to the card stock if you wanted to as well.  I ended up using the back that I cut off the card base as one of my photo mats.

The first card uses the Special reason stamp set and coordinating Stylish Stems framelits.  I also added some 3/8" metallic ribbon (SAB 2017) as an accent.

Both cards showcase the Falling in love designer series paper and I have also used the Love Notes framelits on the second card on it's edge. 

The sentiments on the second card are from Flourishing Phrases.

If these project look like fun and you would like more information on either my Virtual Club or my monthly stamp club, please contact me here!
