SYMPATHY CARD WITH MODERN MEDLEY

HEY BLOGGIES:

Hope all is well where you are. Here in Central Texas we are enjoying a week of cooler and dryer fall weather.  The mornings are in the 50s and the daytime high is only in the 80s.  It is our version of fall!!

We had our Stampin' Club a few days ago and I wanted to show you two of the cards we made.

 This first card was made with Modern Medley Designer paper and my BIG SHOT with the Window Frames Collection Framelits dies.  I used the beautiful set called SIMPLY SKETCHED for the flower and the sentiment.

I finished off the card with a bow of white satin ribbon.  I used fellow demo Tanya's directions on how to make a FINGER BOW and it works so nicely.  Best bow I have EVER made!!

This next card is using the card sets MILLION AND ONE and also GORGEOUS GRUNGE.  I love turquoise with black and white.  It is striking together.  This is a very simple card with a lot of WOW. Slate gray, black and turquoise inks were also used.

DOILY BACKGROUND STAMP MAKES A PRETTY CARD

As demonstrators, we get an ideas magazine every other month.  It gives us suggestions for cards, make and takes for workshops and special ideas.  This card was in our current magazine except I changed it up a bit because of missing product:

 The images are stamped in Gumball Green Ink on Gumball Green cardstock.  The circle in the middle of the main doily is crumb cake with the sentiment stamped in Gumball Green.  The magazine suggested we cut out the middle of the doily with the circles framelits, but I only have the circles die and it wouldn't work.  So I improvided with cutting out the circle in crumb cake card stock and adhering it to the doily.

 This is a close up of the front sentiment from the vintage stamp set "Three Little Words".  I LOVE this set and will continue to use it.  I added the rhinestone jewels myself because I am giving this card to my niece.  She has had a VERY hard year so far.  She lost her husband a few months ago and is still grieving and healing from this horrific loss.  They had only been married for 11 years and were still in the honeymoon phase of their marriage.

 Happy Birthday wishes is from the Simply Sketched stamp set.  I added a crystal button with a rhinestone in the middle for some more bling.

One more look at the Simple but BEAUTIFUL birthday card for my niece.

I never would have chosen green for this card had I not seen it in our magazine.  I really like it and with the crumb cake, it is a very nice color combo.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.
