I think I might have mentioned in an older post how much I dislike making sympathy cards. Even though you want let someone know you care and that you are thinking of them..they are no fun to do. Because you know the reason is because someone is sad. Hoping this will make them feel a bit better!
This is the card I needed to make this week:
For this card I used the
Candlelight Garden CTMH December Stamp of the Month
This set is a beautiful set that has some wonderful friendship sentiments and a Thank you sentiment as well. Check out the link above to see all the images in this stamp set.
The "Sympathy" sentiment is from a brand new stamp set from a upcoming brand new CTMH expressions catalog coming out in January! I am a consultant so I get a sneak peek!
I stamped the jar and the flowers with black ink on Watercolor Cardstock and colored the flowers with the beautiful CTMH Watercolor paints , There are 36 colors to choose from!
I then attached the image to Canary Cardstock. I took the card base and embossed it using the Damask Embossing Folder and then I took a piece of Sweet Leaf Cardstock and stamped the sympathy sentiment and attached that strip to the card base, then I took the flowers that are bordered with Canary cardstock and using 3-D Foam tape to attach to the sweet leaf cardstock and card base make them pop up a bit.
I then raided my stash and found some discontinued pearl embellishments to add to the side and a tiny one in the middle of the large flower.
Thanks for stopping by. Hopefully my next card will be a happier card!

Pretty Birthday Card
Today I am posting a birthday card that I made for a December birthday. I know this time of the year we focus on the reds, greens, silver etc. but I wanted this card to be focusing on the birthday and not the season. Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas and the reasons behind it but it is easy to get involved in that and not put as much effort into cards other than Christmas. So here is one of the birthday cards I need to make this month:
I used the Kaleidoscope Paper Packet for the background paper for this card.
I used the Artistry Cricut Collection to cut out the frame for the middle of the card using white Daisy cardstock and using Pear Cardstock for underneath the frame. I used Sending Love Stamp Set for the birthday sentiment. I embossed the Happy Birthday Cheer with White Embossing Powder. I then used the above Cricut Cartridge to cut out the flowers. I used Pixie Cardstock and Gypsy Cardstock for the flowers. For the middle of the flowers, I used my hole punch and punched two quick little dots out of the Pink Shimmer Trim. I used the cute Enamel and Glitter Purple Hearts Embellishments in the middle of pink cut out flowers. I also used the shimmer trim and pieces of the pear and gypsy cardstock in the middle of the card. And that is it!
Thanks for stopping by and visiting! I hope you are having a wonderful day!
