Another Artistically Inked Card – Sorry For Your Loss
Today I’m sharing another card using the Artistically Inked stamp, but this time using the stamp with the Artistic Dies. You can see more cards here and here using Artistically Inked. To create this card, I used two more dies besides the Artistic dies. For the big scallop I used the Scallop Contours Dies and for the border scallop, the Penned Dies were used. I …
Sale-A-Bration Heal Your Heart With Forever Fern
Today’s card features the Heal Your Heart stamp from the Sale-A-Bration catalog and Forever Fern from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog to make this soothing sympathy card. Making sympathy cards is not one you look forward to creating, but it’s nice to know you can make one from your own home when you need one. Since the need of a sympathy card comes unexpectedly, it’s good …
Painted Poppies – Love & Sympathy
In my last post, I mentioned that the Painted Poppies stamp is a favorite of mine and I had more cards to share with you with this set. Today I’m sharing a simple sympathy card using the Itty Bitty Greetings along with this set. Because Painted Poppies doesn’t have any greetings, you can use any other set to add your sentiment. The beauty of this …
Saying Goodbye to Lovely As A Tree
Hi Crafty Friends . . . Did you know that Lovely as a Tree has been around since 2001? It is the oldest stamp set in our current catalog. Every year when a new catalog comes around we wonder if it’s retiring, yet it has been so popular that it made it through 18 years. Now that’s a long time! But, the time has come …
Butterfly Thoughts & Prayer
Here’s another card I made a while back combining two retiring stamps – Butterfly Basics for the image and Rose Wonder for the sentiment. I used the Butterflies Thinlits to die cut both butterflies. I love everything about this card. I think it’s simple yet elegant. The Butterfly Basics stamp set is a great collage stamp which allows you to layer your images one on …
Birthday Blooms
I have a quick post for you. For today’s card I used the beautiful blooms from the Birthday Blooms stamp (retiring soon). Although I usually use all Stampin’ Up! products, I came across this sentiment from Sweet & Sassy that I loved. It’s a set with snippets from a few timeless hymns and the music and choir director in me just couldn’t resist! Isn’t it a …
Sympathy – Thoughts & Prayers
Today’s card features Thoughts & Prayers, one of my favorite sets that has been around for a while. I used the sentiment from the Rose Wonder set to create this lovely sympathy card. Although the Thoughts & Prayers set has a sympathy sentiment, I wanted a bigger font size for the front. The watercolor background was made with clear block C and the Wild Wasabi, …
For All Things Sympathy
Today’s card is a clean and simple sympathy card using the For All Things stamp set. I made this card back in May 2015 and hadn’t posted it – actually there are several I made last year that I haven’t posted so I’ll be posting those soon. For this card, I embossed half of the Whisper White cardstock so I could stamp my sentiment below …
Kind Koala
Who wouldn’t like to receive this Kind Koala card? I think the Koala is so cute, I’ve been eyeing it for a while and got it during the stamp sale – so glad I did. Love it! This card is not my typical sympathy card, but I thought it was appropriate for the two people I sent it to – those who were rooting for …

Lovely As A Tree Sympathy
Here’s another sympathy card. Unfortunatley, I needed to make many of these this summer. I used the Lovely as A Tree stamp as the focal point. Once again, I used my good old companion, the Big Shot. I embossed the Very Vanilla card stock with the woodgrain embossing folder and used my Circles Collection Framelits to mount my tree. Perfect masculine card! Before I embossed …

Hi There! Here are a couple of sympathy cards using the Bloom With Hope hostess stamp set.

Wheels, Wheels, Wheels
Some people love the Stampin’ Around Wheels and some people don’t like them. I happen to be one that loves them! They make quick projects and great backgrounds… unfortunately, they’re being retired. My very favorite wheels are the Music Notes Wheel and Very Vintage Wheel. Did you know that you could unmount your wheel and make it a clear-mount stamp? Just find the seam …

Perfectly Preserved Sympathy Card
Here’s a sympathy card I made using the Perfectly Preserved stamp set and Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder. I sponged Whisper White Craft Ink around the edge of the Sahara Sand cardstock and masked and sponged the inside of the mason jar to give it the look of water inside the jar. Today marks the 11th anniversary of 9/11 which is always a tough one to remember. So many …
