Rainbow Bailey

 

So sad to need to create a card for the passing of a family pet. This one hit hard for me, as Bailey was a wonderful dog to all she came in contact with. My best friend will miss her very much. I'm blessed that I got to see her all the times I've visited my Best Friend. Rest now Bailey... you're in good hands!

I wanted to create a card using the theme with a rainbow... "going over the rainbow bridge".

I designed this within My Memories Suite digital software. I added the pawprints to the rainbow and found the perfect sentiment.

Dog Sympathy

 

Now I know I designed a card similar to this a while back ago... but it had a pink ribbon and the name 'Lya' on the ribbon. I really liked the look of it, so when my Goddaughters dog passed away... I knew what card to design for her and her beloved Maserati! 

I designed this creation in My Memories Suite digital software.

The paw prints where just placed in a heart shape.

Thanks for taking a look!

Aubreys Dog

 

My sister-in-law needed a sympathy card for her friend who just had to put her dog down. The loss of a pet is almost as hard as a family member sometimes.

I've made variations of this card using My Memories Suite digital software.

My sister-in-law (and brother) needed a sympathy card for their neighbor whose dog passed away.

Pawprint Sorrow

 

My brother and sister-in-law's doggie went to heaven today (well, 3/31). It's so hard to say goodbye to a furry friend. Lya was such a gentle soul... she got along with everyone.

I made this card using My Memories Suite digital software. I saw a heart shaped pawprint card on Pinterest and I fell in love with it.  Each pawprint is individual, so I just placed the prints around in a heart shape. I added the banner... which was plain. Then added a text box with the word 'Lya' and made it look like it was on the banner.

Sympathy of Pet

My sister-in-law and brother-in-law live on a farm (horses and chickens mostly), and are somewhat used to loss of animals. But... they have gone through many losses this year. Two of their beloved dogs were poisoned, her prized horse of 26 years passed away and now -- one of her indoor doggies (Bean) of 16 years -- has passed away too. I'm not sure how she does it.

I saw this cute card (on the right), and felt it was fitting for them... as Bean was a tiny Pomeranian dog.

Horse Sympathy

What a truly sad day. My sister-in-law's horse, Beau, passed away from a heart attack. Beau was 26 years old, and was an Arabian Stallion. Hugs to you Sister!

I didn't have any horse stamps, so I found this 'clip art' online for free. I used my digital software to create this card... then after printing it.... finished it the traditional way.

Stamp Brush Set - Horse, In Any Event
Ink - Basic Black
Paper - Whisper White, Basic Black
Accessories - Brights Enamel Shapes (heart)

Pet Sympathy

Here's a different take on this classic design for a family dog who has passed away. I found the paw print in My Memories Suite. I felt while the traditional beige/dark brown was great -- a softer combo of Beige/Cream works great for this sympathy card too!

I added the red enamel heart... such a great touch along with the 3/8" Gold Metallic Ribbon.

Thanks for taking a closer look.

Supplies Used:
My Memories Suite software
Embellishment - Dog Dayz of Summer (Stina) - paw print
Stamp Brush Set - In Any Event - sympathy words (Crumb Cake)

Paper - Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake
Embellishments - Brights Enamel Shapes (Red Heart); 3/8" Gold Metallic Ribbon

In Loving Detail

Sad to say that I needed a sympathy card for my sister-in-law who lost her dad. I wanted the card to be masculine...for her dad.... that's why I chose the tree in the 'Lovely As A Tree' stamp set, but also feminine... for my sister-in-law... so I paired it with the 'So Detailed' thinlits and the 'In Any Event' script stamp set.

I'd like to say I stamped these images (tree and words), but I didn't! I used my digital software... My Memories Suite. I was able to change the opacity (to 50%) of the tree stamp, so that it sort of looks like a watercolor image on the panel. The sentiment was "stamped" as is in my digital software. I printed it on Whisper White cardstock and then mounted it on Smoky Slate cardstock.

I ran a piece of Basic Black through my Big Shot with the 'So Detailed' Thinlits and adhered it to the bottom portion of the Smoky Slate cardstock... trimming where it went over to get the look you see here.

Princess Ledges Nature Preserve

 

My husband and I wanted to explore the area that we moved to, so we found this nature preserve that was right off the main road. You'd totally miss it if you weren't specifically looking for it. I'm so glad we found it online of the parks near us.  Wow! What an amazing place... there were two trails: one a nature trail and the other a ledges trail. We did both! The leaves were just staring to change (as it was October 2016). It was a beautiful day for a lovely hike in nature.

Thanks for taking a walk with us!

There is so much diversity when it comes to digital stamping. Such is the case in creating this card. The stamp 'Birthday Candles' comes with a long row of candles... in the digital world... I can crop as many or (as little, in this case, as I want).

Coloring them each a different color is so very easy with the coloring tool too.
