Floral sympathy

Hello friends.  I hope you are keeping safe, wherever you are today.

Today I would like to share another card that I made five of, for some friends who have lost a beloved family member this past week.  I used the Number of Years stamp set from Stampin' Up!, which is a favourite of mine, because of the numbers (I also have the matching dies).  However, I've never really used the pretty flower before.  It is actually a sweet flower, which can be stamped in green for the leaves and then the blooms can all be added separately in different colours.  I'll definitely be using this one again!  The colours I used are: (Stampin' Up!) Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron and Blushing Bride.  I matted the card with So Saffron cardstock. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things.  It was so simple to make multiple cards using my Misti.

This is my second entry into the challenge at AAA Cards #170 - Maxi white space with a twist (flowers)


Thanks for stopping by today x

CAS celebrate with flowers

Hi folks!  Today I’m sharing a very clean and simple card that I made to keep at the ready in my stash of cards for just when I might need it quickly. I’m actually pleased with how it turned out. 
I used a stamp that I bought many years ago from Stampin’ Up! but I can’t remember the name of it. It was originally one of the small wheels stamps, but recently I took all the stamps off the wheels and turned them into single border stamps. Using the Misti, it is really easy to line them up and I get better use out of them now. I have stored them in a large SU! case. 
I used Crushed Curry ink and scored a border line on each side of the stamp. I die cut the word You from a MFT die and stamped and cut out the sentiment from the same set in Crushed Curry. 

I’m entering this card into two challenges:

AAA Cards - maxi white space, twist - flowers
The Paper Players - CAS Celebrate









That's all for today.  Thank you so much for popping by!

You are amazing!

Good afternoon, fellow crafters!  Who else is like me and loves Thursdays, because it is the beginning of the weekend?!  I just think Thursdays are great because the whole weekend is still there, waiting for us to jump in - no work, and hopefully lots of play!

Today I'm sharing a card I've made for:


The colours are Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo.  The stamps are Concord and 9th and the die is from My Favorite Things.


I don't know who the recipient will be yet, but I've a few ideas!




Thank you very much for visiting today xx
