Sympathy Cards

Hi Everyone,

Hope all is well and enjoying your day.

My mother wanted my to create several different cards for some relatives that lost their mother (which was my mother's only remaining aunt from her father's side)

Completed front.

 Spellbinders

The Hydrangea is from the Walk In My Garden cricut cartridge. 

Sprits the lavender cardstock with two glimmer mists 

Mel's Diner & Puerto Rico

 The little "pearls" are the inside of flowers were done with
Viva Decor Perlen-Pen #201 (I thought it was "pearl pen" but that one is spell like that on the label)
Still working on more cards for her.
She wants them to be able to be mailed plus they're going out of the country...
So I can't make them bulky or too 3D

I've shown this Spellbinders technique that I learned for a couple of gals on YouTube

 Here is the completed front

This is the inside- left some room for her to write something if she wants.

 This is the Calla Lily
araceae stamp from PSX K-1696
I pop-dotted it just for a little dimension- not too much.

 Full front

Here is another card with the same stamp but here I tried
some "real stitching" I love it- still need practice on sewing straight.

I paper pieced the calla lilies to make them "pop" by contrast of color rather
than using pop dots.

Little too much flash but I finished the card at night and had the
worst lighting ever- so I used the flash.

I didn't want to do anything too fancy to the inside but inked a
little part of the same stamp I used on the front of the card and used it
here as well for to add a little interest.

This is my aunt with one of her horses (one of many farm animals).

Thanks for stopping by.
Hope you like them.

Hugs,

Thank you & Breast Cancer Cards

Good afternoon,

I completed this card along with the 50th birthday card and a breast cancer card but hadn't had a chance to post all of them on the same day. I used the exact Rose stamp.

I was trying to mix two different reds... I won't next time...

 I pre-dated the card... shhhh don't tell.

And that's the back

For the breast cancer card I used the lacey squares instead. Also, I "messed up" on the cutting with the spellbinders die... but I wasn't going to throw it away- heccccck no! took me a while to color all three sets of roses lol I just cut around the entire flower and separated the bud and budding rose from the big one then popped dot the big rose. 

I bought these cute little heart charms that say "Hand Made with Love" but didn't have the baker's twine everyone is using these days... so I just used that skinny ribbon I got on sale from Michael's (a long time ago)

Here's where I popped dotted that rose

Well my friends, I hope you like my cards. 

Until later... (last minute working on my hubby's Father's Day card)

Have a good one.

50th Birthday Card

Good morning everyone,

Been missing from my own blogspot but I have been creating :)

I've also been busy buying stamps from eBay - Some where good deals and I have to admit some not so much (at least not for my liking but I loved the stamps) I need to stop before I use up all of my spare change. 

This card is made with a Rubber Stampede: Rose A1670G 

The Sentiment is from Netty's Cards: 50th Birthday

Materials used

 Then

 I learned this from watching YouTube videos I saw about 3 of them... lol

 Here's what you get 

 Closed the blinds and turned on artificial lights so you can see the shimmer from my 

Sakura gelly roll Stardust Clear pen

Lights off and back to natural light...

Thanks for stopping by.
