No Time To Stamp?

Today I made a sympathy card and a wedding card using Graphic 45′s Once Upon a Springtime – and, of course, I had to make this lovely pad into a KIT!  The pad features lovely and somewhat whimsical prints of pretty little fairies and Beatrix Potter-like bunnies, but there are plenty of prints in the [...]

Today I needed to make a sympathy card for a lovely lady who passed after a long life, so I wanted the card to be soft and pretty.  It was the perfect time to try out ribbon ruching with my wide silk and to use my newest sympathy set from JustRite.  Here’s the result: This [...]

Welcome to our August Blog Hop!  The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store Design Team and I have all come up with projects for you showcasing the Splendors of Autumn — it’s been very hot and humid here and I do look forward to those cooler, crisper, fresher days of Autumn! Read to the bottom to find [...]

Today I needed to make a quick sympathy card and I thought the photo inspiration over at The Shabby Tea Room was just perfect.  Here’s the inspiration photo: I thought the soothing brown tones were perfect for the masculine sympathy card I needed: I have some mental issues with putting bows on masculine cards (LOL!), but [...]

With Sympathy – Today’s challenge is to make a sympathy card.  I seem to always be out of them, even though I make them often.  And when we need sympathy cards, it is usually without much notice.  So let’s add to our stash of sympathy cards today.  I know everyone is always looking for ideas [...]

CAS/BIO — So what’s THAT mean?  Clean and Simple, Black Ink Only OR Brown Ink Only.  So clean and simple in style, with only ONE ink, black or brown, and NO coloring.  We’ve done something similar before, but this time we are adding in the clean and simple element as well and allowing either black [...]

It seems I need way too many sympathy cards — I had to get one in the mail today for a friend whose mother passed away.  To save time I decided to make basically the same card that I posted yesteday, only make it a bit more feminine.  So today I have a CAS feminine sympathy [...]

I often think clean and simple is the way to go with sympathy cards, and even moreso when it needs to be a masculine sympathy card.  That’s what I did here today — clean and simple, black and white. This card is a favorite size of mine of late – 5.25″ x 7.75″.  I have [...]
