Simple Embossed Sympathy Card

Rosanne April 23, 2022 April 23, 2022Cards, Challenges, Sympathy

I have a clean and simple sympathy card to share today. I think sympathy cards need to be “quiet” and peaceful and that’s what I tried to achieve with this card. I had this beautiful embossed frame embossing folder in my stash for a very long time but never used it before this. It created such a pretty backdrop for the floral panel. This floral pattern came in the Simon Says March Kit, Hoppy Days. I absolutely love it and I’m currently on the hunt for more. I adhered it to a piece of Fresh Fig (retired SU) card stock and used foam tape to adhere it to the center of the embossed panel for a bit of dimension. The sentiment is heat embossed. Lastly, I added a gold embossed butterfly.

And here’s a peek at the inside…

The inspiration for this card came from the Freshly Made Sketches #532 Challenge

Once again, thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Wonderful Watercolor Floral Birthday

Oh my goodness, today’s card features Gina K’s recent Watercolor Floral Card Kit that I could not wait to get my hands on. And I must say, it was everything I hoped for and more…much more! There are so many beautiful elements in the kit that the cards could probably make themselves…haha! Today’s card is just the first I created with this kit and it barely scratches the surface of possibilities.

The only stamping on the front is the sentiment from SU’s Sweet as a Peach stamp set which is stamped in black Versa Fine ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. The beautiful foliage pattern is from the Watercolor Floral 6 x 6 paper pad and the gorgeous flowers are from the Watercolor Floral Ephemera Pack…all included in the kit. I added a few gold glitter gems as a final detail.

Again, the inside sentiment which is actually 2 separate stamps is from Gina K’s So Many Sentiments stamp set and yes, that too is included in the kit!

I’m playing along with The Card Concept #173 Challenge where I was inspired by the pretty color palette, as well as, the floral detail on the pillow.

And also the challenge at Fusion where I chose to follow the sketch and the floral inspiration in the photo.

Thanks for stopping by today,

April Showers for a Baby Shower

Today I have a cute mini slimline baby shower card. My card measures 6″ x 3 1/2″ and features a few cute little images from Hello Bluebird’s Puddle Play stamp set. The coordinating paper is from Lawn Fawn’s Flower Market 6 x 6 paper pad.

Nowadays, when it comes to attending baby showers, I usually opt for a gift card as a gift. This card fits the bill as I created a slim pocket on the inside that can accommodate either a gift card or check.

I’m playing along with The Paper Players Challenge...

Thanks once again for stopping by today!

It’s Game On…for CC2C

Once again, it’s that time of the month for Karen Hallam, in California and myself, in Pennsylvania to criss cross the country to CASE (Copy and Selectively Edit) our cards. This month Karen chose the theme: a masculine card. Karen created this awesome card for her gardener husband’s birthday. You can see all the details HERE. I’m sure he’s going to love it!

This type of card is one that’s not necessarily in my comfort zone, partly because I really don’t have a need for many of these. We are a girl majority family for sure. Although I now have two small grandsons, so I better get my GAME ON!

I pulled out the retired SU Game On stamp set and paired it with two patterns from the also retired Pattern Play DSP for today’s masculine birthday card. I think this set is unique and fun. It’s one that I’ll keep and use for a long time.
