Baby Sympathy

I wanted to show my concern and support for my Godson's wife who just recently had a miscarriage. Most sympathy cards I've made are for people of elderly that have passed on. This is the first where it was a miscarriage. I chose the 'Wonderful Moments' stamp set with the pregnant woman because we remember that that baby was a precious child and already loved by the family. Such sorrow and pain from losing such a lovely blessing.

I hope this little gesture brings comfort and support to them as they grieve. HUGS to all the mother's who have had miscarriages.

Supplies Used:

Stamp Set - Wonderful Moments, Peaceful Moments

Ink - Smoky Slate, Memento

Paper - Whisper White, Gray Granite

Accessories - Die-Cut/Emboss Machine, Stone Embossing folder, Whisper White Organdy Ribbon, glue dots, Beautiful Wings embossing folder, Basic Rhinestones

Welcome Baby

My new niece is HERE!!!!!!! She arrived on 3/24/2019 at 9:44am. Eleanor weighed 7 lbs and is 18 inches long. The proud parents (my brother and sister-in-law) are bringing her home from the hospital today.

This card that I made for them was printed in my digital software... well, the cloud and the strings were.  The rest was done traditionally.

Thanks for dropping by!

My Memories Suite digital software
Embellishments - Rain (cloud); Staples and Stitches (Stampin' Up!)
Paper - Whisper White, Soft Suede, Twinkle Twinkle DSP

Heartfelt Ribbon

It's that time again where we participated in the PurpleStride Cleveland 2018. This is a walk/run to raise funds to help find a cure, raise awareness and support for those with Pancreatic Cancer.

The 'Ribbon of Courage' stamp set was perfect for this occasion. Also, since I wanted to thank all those that generously gave to this worthy cause... I added the 'Thank You' sentiment from the 'Heartfelt Blooms' stamp set.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Fabulous Wings

A card created for a Fabulous friend on her birthday! She loves butterflies (as they remind her of her Mom), so I incorporated that into my design.

It looked a bit plain, but after adding the rhinestones..... the card really turned out cheerfully fun and cute!

Thanks for taking a peek!

Supplies Used:
Stamp Sets - Million & One
Paper - Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink - Black Staz-on
Accessories - Big Shot, Beautiful Wings Embosslits, Basic Rhinestones, Black Twine (non-SU)

Wooden Bloom

In creating the card up top, I started out by trying to incorporate this sketch in my card.  However, when I added the '9' white butterflies (that I wanted because of the sketch)...... you could hardly see that there was a flower underneath all those butterflies.  It looked way to busy and I wasn't liking it at all.  So, I created my own card...... with just one butterfly.  Not sure if my card will be a Birthday or a Thank you card, so I left it blank inside.

Maybe I'll try the sketch again later this week..... we shall see! =)

Thanks for taking a peek!

Supplies Used:
Stamp Sets - Hardwood, Blended Bloom
Paper - Hello Honey, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Whisper White
Ink - Early Espresso, Soft Suede
Accessories - Beautiful Wings Embosslits, Big Shot, dimensionals, scissors

One Daydream

I wanted to create a special thank you card for a very special friend! This card was a joy to put together using the 'Million & One' Stamp set.  Doris Denman had used the other stamp in the set, and place a double outline around hers.  I liked that look a lot, so I placed one outline around this stamp set..... I really like how it turned out.  Thanks Doris!

Supplies Used:
Stamp sets - Million & One, Daydream Medallion
Paper - Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink - Old Olive, Black Staz-on
Accessories - Big Shot, Beautiful Wings Embosslits, Floral Frames Framelits, Beautifully Baroque TIEF, Basic Pearls, glue dots

Silhouetted Wings - SCCSC157

Okay, so I attempted again to create a card with the Stampin' Connection Card Sketch Challenge (SCCSC157).  I believe this time I've accomplished it! (For those that want to see my creation that was loosely created with this sketch -- See Here!

I struggled a bit to get the background stamp just right.  Using the Stamp-a-ma-jig helped tremendously! =)

Beautiful Overlays

I had purchased the Eclectic Overlays for My Digital Studio (MDS), but have not used it within my scrapbook pages as yet.  Then, I thought, WHY, wait for a scrapbook page.... I could use it in a card.
So I printed the Circle Overlay in Island Indigo on Whisper White paper. After printing I colored the frame and flowers in Baja breeze with my blender pen to get a softer look.

Flourishing Wings

 
A few of my nieces are not fans of pink/purple combinations of color, so... with looking at the Colour Q Challenge (CQC135) along with the Stampin Connection Challenge (SCCSC117) I was able to come up with a card that I believe my niece will love! I used Riding Hood Red instead of Ruby Red, and I got rid of the layered box underneath my butterflies (it looked to busy with it).
