In the Meadow Sympathy

Sympathy cards are nice to have on hand
because when you need one isn’t really the
best time to sit down and make one.
Sometimes this can be very difficult.
Today’s card was made for a wonderful
co-worker who just lost her husband.
My heart goes out to Linda and her family.
In the Meadow SympathyThe stamp sets used were In the Meadow and Suite Sayings.
The card base is the Thick Whisper White cardstock.
I added a layer of Blackberry Bliss and then a layer of
Perfect Plum (when did you use this color last).
On the Whisper White cardstock I used Memento
ink to stamp the flowers twice.
I stamped “With Sympathy” in the upper right corner.
The card was missing something — too much white
space, so I added some butterflies.
I used markers to add a bit of color:
So Saffron, Perfect Plum and Pear Pizzazz.
Then I added the finishing touch —
Wink of Stella – Clear.  I love this stuff.
It’s almost time for a new one.

WOO HOO Sunburst

WOO HOO!!!
A new Sale-a-Bration stamp set.
I just received some new stamping goodies.
I didn’t think I need the Sunburst Thinlit from the
Occasions Catalog — really, what would I do with it.
Then I saw some cards on Pinterest and knew that I
HAD to have it.  I cased today’s card from fellow
demonstrator, Brian King.  I love this color combination
that he did and the designer paper was perfect.
So I made a few adjustments for my card.
I used the new Sale-a-Bration stamp set Party Pants.
This set has some great words and a couple of images.
I love adding layers to my cards — 1/8″ borders give
just a little pop of color change (this drives my sister crazy).

Sunburst Party PantsThe card base is Lost Lagoon. 
I added a layer of Soft Suede – 4″ x 5 1/4″.
Next is Hello Honey — 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
Then the Sweet Lil’ Things designer paper — 3 3/4″ x 5″
I cut both the Vanilla stars and the Hello Honey stars paper the
same size.  Then I used the Sunburst Thinlit to cut the
Hello Honey star paper and attached over the Vanilla stars paper.
Such a cool look — this is a must have thinlit.
I added circle of Lost Lagoon, Soft Suede, Hello Honey
and stamped the greetings with Lost Lagoon ink.
I love the WOO HOO stamp.  I could stamp it on everything.

Pedal Pusher

WOOHOO — yesterday we got THREE new Sale-a-Bration
items to choose from.
Today's card uses one of the new stamp sets called
Pedal Pusher.  What a fun set to play with — there are
accessories for the bike — add the basket and lots of
different things you can put in the basket.
Check out my first card using this new set.
Pedal Pusher
So much fun.  I started with Thick Whisper White cardstock for
the base.  I used the Project Life Corner Punch to round the
bottom edges of the card.  Then I used a couple of different
Washi Tapes — Cherry on Top and It's My Party.
I used the Oval Collection Framelits to cut out a Bermuda Bay
oval and a Whisper White oval.  I stamped the bike from
the Pedal Pusher stamp set with Memento ink.
I added the basket to the front of the bike and stamped
a bouquet of flowers in the basket, both with Memento ink.
I used markers to color the flowers – Watermelon Wonder,
Pear Pizzazz and Delightful Dijon (for the center of the flower).
I colored the bike with markers too — Bermuda Bay and
Basic Black.  I stamp "I'm Here for You" from the
Pedal Pusher stamp set and then at the bottom of the
card I stamped f"No road is too long when you have good
company" from the Beautiful Ride stamp set.

What a fun, fast & fabulous card to make!!!
I hope you'll give this set a try.
