FRIENDLY REMINDER!  Today (February 2nd) is the last day to earn BONUS DAYS coupons.  



==============================================================================

Beverly's Tip of the Day

Expand your selection of greetings you have available by having stamps sets that are messages only.  This gives you the option to add a message onto your card beyond what's available with the stamp set you're using for your images.  

The Simply Said stamp set is a great addition to have on hand.  It features a few messages in script style and a few in text form, so you can choose the font style that best fits the theme of your card. 

======================================================================

Gather Your Supplies:

  • Nature's Symphony bundle (Save 10% when you purchase stamp set & die with bundle item#)
  • Simply Said stamp set
  • Basic Beige cardstock 
    • card base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored & folded at 2-1/8 & 4-1/4
    • 2-1/4 x 3/4 for message
  • Pecan Pie cardstock
    • 4-3/4 x 3-1/2 panel
  • Mossy Meadow cardstock
    • 3 x 1-1/4 
  • Nature's Symphony Designer Series Paper (DSP)
    • 4-1/4 x 3-1/4 script print
    • 5-1/4 x 1-7/8 greens & beiges mottled print
    • 5-1/4 x 4 beige grid print
    • 4-1/4 x 3 greens & beiges mottled print for leaf die cut
  • Pecan Pie Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Mossy Meadow Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Old Olive Linen Thread
  • Earthy Matte Dots
  • Stampin' Dimensionals
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
=============================================================
Here's How It's Made:

Adhere script print DSP to Pecan Pie cardstock panel.  Die cut large leafy branch from DSP, adhere to panel.



Card base should be folded back onto itself at the 2-1/8 scored line, and folded closed at the 4-1/4 scored line to create the z-fold.  

On the front piece, adhere the 5-1/4 x 1-7/8 DSP print, and on inside back panel, adhere the beige grid DSP print.  On the in-between piece, ink the texture stamp with Pecan Pie, stamp off once, stamp onto lower area.  Ink small branch with Mossy Meadow, stamp over texture.


Die cut Mossy Meadow cardstock with woodgrain die.  Ink "thinking of you" with Pecan Pie, stamp onto left side of Basic Beige cardstock, tear off right edge.

Apply adhesive to back of Basic Beige message piece, loop Old Olive linen thread around and press onto adhesive, then apply another layer of adhesive to secure thread, adhere to Mossy Meadow woodgrain die cut.


Adhere Pecan Pie panel to card front, making sure to apply adhesive only to the left area.


Embellish with Early Espresso Earthy Matte Dots.



The grid print DSP is light enough to easily write your message on.  If you prefer, you can certainly add another layer inside for your handwritten message.  Just make sure the panel is small enough to hide under the front panel when the card is closed.

Prayers & Promises Gallery Blooms Sympathy Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features the beautiful Prayers & Promises stamp set, which is filled with sentiments and messages offering sympathy and comfort in times of loss.  The flowers are from the Gallery Blooms stamp & die bundle.

Techniques include coloring with Stampin' Blends.

==============================================================================

Beverly's Tip of the Day

When you stamp and die cut items, and don't end up using them on your current project, hang on to them.  The die cut flowers used on this card are some I've had in the case with the stamp set for almost a year!  I stamped and die cut them, and never used them on a project.  I've pulled them out many times, but they were never right for what I was creating at that time.

This morning, I had finished with another project using the Gallery Blooms stamp set, and I pulled them out. I had a piece of Cloud Cover cardstock laying on my crafting table.  I thought, these flowers would look beautiful in Cloud Cover, so I lightly colored them in.  Soft Sea Foam for the leaves and Lemon Lolly for the flower centers gives these pieces a wonderfully soft feel, perfect for a sympathy card.  Positioning them on opposite corners with a simple message in the middle allows them to be the star of the card.  

Had a thrown them away, I may never have come up with this beautiful card.  

======================================================================

Gather Your Supplies:

  • Gallery Blooms bundle (Save 10% when you purchase stamp set & die with bundle item#)
  • Prayers & Promises stamp set
  • Basic White Thick cardstock 
    • card base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored & folded at 4-1/4
  • Cloud Cover cardstock
    • 5-1/4 x 4 panel

    • 3-1/4 x 3
    • 3 x 2 (2) for flower die cuts

  • Secret Sea Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Cloud Cover Stampin' Blends Combo Pack
  • Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends Combo Pack
  • Lemon Lolly Stampin' Blends Combo Pack
  • Moody Palette Glossy Dots
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
=============================================================
Here's How It's Made:

Ink "so sorry..." with Secret Sea, stamp in center of Basic White cardstock panel, adhere to center of Cloud Cover cardstock panel, adhere to folded card front.



Ink flower stamp with Memento Ink, stamp onto Basic White cardstock, die cut. Repeat.  Partially color in flowers with Lt & Dk Cloud Cover, leaves with Lt & Dk Soft Sea Foam, and flower centers with Dk Lemon Lolly Stampin' Blends.

Embellish with Black Glossy Dots.
