Deepest Sympathy

Here is the second of three sympathy cards I planned to make using some old papers and stash. I love how this turned out. I honestly would not have put these colours together on my own. The patterned paper is from Kaisercraft's Peachy Keen collection. At the bottom of the paper are five coloured spots in shades of green, yellow, orange and brown. I picked the pale yellow and it is really so soft looking. The picture doesn't show the exact colour, I think it's Barley Banana from Stampin Up and the ribbon is So Saffron. 

Once again, The Feshly Made Sketch #129 inspired the layout, I just flipped it to the side :)

Paper:  Kaisercraft Peachy Keen, SU Barely Banana
Stamps:  CTMH Card Chatter - Sympathy
Ink:  Stampin Up Soft Suede
Accessories:  SU So Saffron ribbon, CTMH Bitty Sparkle, Spellbinders Nestabilities

Thinking of You

I've been trying to build my card stash and thought it was a good time to also go through some old papers. I dug up a few and decided I was going to make three sympathy cards. These papers were left over from a scrapbook layout I did several years ago. The sentiment is from CTMH - Card Chatter Sympathy and the feathers are from my newest Stampin Up set Fine Feathers.  I resisted adding any embellishments, I was very pleased with the simplicity of this card. 

Freshly Made Sketches #128 just happened to be the perfect sketch :).  

 

I think my favorite part of the card is the softness of the gray and the pretty little ribbon bow.

Just For You

A little something I whipped up last night for my mother-in-law. I used Stampin Up's Pop Up Posies Kit. The sentiment is embossed with pool party EP and I sprayed some Vanilla Shimmer Smooch on the tag. DSP is from the Patio Party pack and I used my newest paper Baked Brown Sugar.

Side note!!!!  So excited about my new purchase!!!!  Paper Smooches had a 25% off everything in the store anniversary sale today. I've been eyeing up several of the stamps and dies and managed to pick up almost all that we're on my wish list :). Best of all, I saved $40 and shipping to Canada is only $8. Pretty cool. I love the whimsy stamps and the fonts of the sentiments. I haven't been this excited in a while, can't wait for my package!!  Woot woot!!

Vacation Time

Lucky me - I just spent 7 days in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic ..... What a wonderful break from the cold and snow!!!
