Painted Blooms Sympathy

Hi there!  I'm back with another card image that has been sitting in the computer waiting to be posted. The focal piece is from the Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper, which was in the 2015 Stampin' Up! Occasions catalog.  Such lovely paper!  I felt the DSP was elegant enough for a sympathy card to send to my daughter's friend, who lost her grandma a few months ago.  This card was totally designed from bits and pieces (current and retired) that we all seem to accumulate over time.  So go check out your "bits and pieces" to see what you can make!

Thank you for stopping by today!  Your visits are always welcome!

Easter Cross

Hi there!  Thought I'd share another Easter card we made at one of the Wednesday stamp club meetings.  I just love this technique of cutting the Lattice Die shape to create the cross.  Pretty cool, huh?  I'm constantly amazed by people's creativity.   This card can be adapted for other occasions such as a wedding, baptism, or sympathy just by changing colors.  Pearls, flowers, and/or ribbon dress it up.  I chose to keep mine plain for the recipient.  The cross was adhered to the White cardstock before running through the Big Shot in the Square Lattice emobssing folder.  It gave the card a nice texture - much better looking in real life.  The focal piece is matted on Concord Crush, which works well with the Wisteria Wonder.

Paper: Wisteria Wonder, Concord Crush, Whisper White
Other: Lattice Die, Square Lattice embossing folder, Pearl

Hope everyone has a Happy Easter.  I'll be spending time with family tomorrow.  Love it!  Need to sign off so I can prepare my food and begin packing for the Girls Getaway retreat next week.  Thanks for stopping in today!

More March Stamp Camp Cards

Hi there and happy Monday to you!  Here are a couple more cards that were made at Stamp Camp this past Saturday.  

Isn't this little chick just too cute!  Thanks to Corie Foster for the inspiration.  I think this was everyone's favorite card.  Now that I see this photo, Pumpkin Pie ink might be a better choice for inking the edges and her cheeks.  She looks a little pale. lol

Did you know that the Lattice die can be made into a cross with just a few snips?  Way cool!  There are some very creative people out there.  This card could be used for Easter, Confirmation, Baptism, or even a wedding with a little tweaking to the color palette and sentiment.
