Sign up here to be sure to receive this fun card kit next month!

Brave, Strong, Loved

The sentiment I used on this card is one of my favorite ones and is from the Rustic Retreat stamp set.  For this card, I paired it with some designer series paper from the Woven threads collection and added a piece of Crumb Cake card stock embossed with the Eyelet lace folder behind that.

There is part of a pearlized doily behind the die cut sentiment layers - I have found I like to cut these doilies in half for a lot of projects...

Supplies:

Rustic Retreat

Early Espresso ink

Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Terracotta Tile card stock

Pearlized doily

Woven threads dsp

Eyelet lace folder

Stitched shapes framelits

Frosty Wishes

It definitely feels like frost around here lately!  That is the name of the designer series paper that I have chosen to use in the background on this card as well.  It is paired with some Noble Peacock foil sheets and the Dandelion Wishes stamp set for this wedding card.

The sentiment is stamped on some Basic Gray card stock that was die cut with the Stitched labels collection and I added some dandelion images with White Craft ink.

Country Home

It is always fund playing with the Country Home stamp set.  Awhile ago I put together a few of these cards to have one hand that I can add a sentiment to at a later time.  

In the background I used some retired Wood Textures designer series paper and added a few Designer elements to finish the card off.

Prayers and Sympathy

Even though I know I won't be able to get posts out to you every day again for a little while I wanted to at least get a couple out there this week!  This card uses the specialty paper I shared in the post yesterday about the Christmastime is Here bundle that is available while supplies last.  

I used it as the background for a sympathy card instead of as a Christmas project and paired it with retired Wood Textures designer series paper.  The sentiment is from the Woven Heirlooms stamp set and is stamped on a piece die cut from the Beautiful Boughs dies collection.

Supplies:

Woven Heirlooms

 Cherry Cobbler ink

Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, Old Olive card stock

Comforting Hugs

I always like to find different ways to use the holiday specialty paper in projects that are not holiday themed.  For this sympathy card, I chose to use a piece of Brightly Gleaming specialty paper in the background along with a piece of Woven threads designer series paper.

The sentiment is stamped on Rococo Rose card stock that was die cut with the Stitched Labels framelits and is from the Kindness and Compassion stamp set.

Supplies:

Kindness and Compassion
