Slimline sympathy

 Our friend from our life group at church lost his Mom, she lived a long life and had dementia, she ended up falling and passing away.  I wanted to go for a vintage look to the card and once again used the paper pack and one of the images that come in the pack to make this slimline card, I thought it fit perfectly. The sentiment and pearls fit nicely in the empty space.

• DCWV - The Primrose,  Paper and image
• Taylored Expressions - Care & Comfort II sentiment stamp

You can see a touch of glitter that was already on this panel in the close up below.

Squeal

 When I was going through these images from the cardmaking magazine, a smile came to my face and so I thought it might work for my great nephews birthday card. I cut the image and a mat from stitched dies. added a border punch to go between the two papers I used for the background.

• Make Special cards - Papers, images and sentiment tag
• PPD - Mini Stitched Square dies
• Martha Stewart - Border punch
• Brads

Hope it brought a smile to your face too and that you have a great week ahead!

In our prayers

 My hubby's coworker passed away from cancer, he was our age.  I had never met his wife in person, when the guys would call and talk on the phone during the pandemic when they were working from home, all 4 of us would talk, so I felt like I knew her.

I went with using this paper pack that had this pretty bird image I could use to put on the front for the focal image. I inked around all the edges, stamped a sentiment at the bottom and added a couple pearls.

• DCWV - The Primrose paper pack for papers and bird image, inking around all edges
• Stampendous - Sincere Sentiments stamp set
• Martha Stewart - pearls

Hope you all enjoy a lovely weekend.

Embellishments

 I forgot to share one of the cards I made at our challenge week with my stamp group.  The challenge was to use at least 3 3mbellishments on your card.  I picked die cut sticker, washi tape and lace.  I had just made up these birds before hand so I wanted to use one of them so that is where the card started. I thought the colors in the Washi tape (bottom piece) would go good with the coloring on my bird, I just love birds in wreaths so this die cut sticker worked perfectly, I put foam tape on it to give some dimension. and added this pretty lace I was given.

• Simon Says stamps - Layered Warbler die
• Paper Studio - Die cut sticker (wreath)
• 49 and Market - Avesta Fabric washi tape
• Lace
• Tim Holtz - Thoughts Label sticker sentiment

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Sending Hugs

 My friend recently loss her cat, I remembered I had a cardmaking magazine with stamps and embossing folder I hadn't used yet, and thought it would be nice for her card. Colored the cat with markers and fussy cut him out, embossed the paw prints and then added a little marker to just the paw prints to make them a little darker then the kraft cardstock.

• Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine - Perfect pals stamp, colored w/markers and embossing folder paw prints colored the paws
• ODBD - Vintage Ephemera collection papers
• Simon says stamps - You got this sentiment stamp

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today, Hope you have a great week ahead!
