Serene Sympathy

I recently had the need for a sympathy card for a co-worker/friend.  It is never a good thing when you need one of these cards but I had a great inspiration from my downline Morgan.  She recently made a card like this with her club and as soon as I saw it I knew I needed to CASE it.  So, I did!  I like the way it turned out and my friend really liked it, so that was all that mattered.  I used the stamp set Serene Silhouette's along with the sentiment from Thoughts & Prayers stamp set.  I used the colors Soft Sky, Lost Lagoon, Night of Navy, and Basic Black.  You can check out these stamp sets or any Stampin' Up! product by visiting my website HERE.  Hope your day is filled with stampin!

The Butterflies Have Landed

 

Unfortunately, this picture does not do this card any justice at all :(  I stamped in White StazOn ink with the Butterfly Basics stamp set on a piece of window sheet.  I am sooo excited this stamp set is available again.  I have a hunch it might be in the new annual catalog coming out in June, a girl can hope, right?  The cardstock directly behind the window sheet is Lost Lagoon, the cardbase is Pool Party. I hope you enjoy this card and it inspires you to get in your craft room(area) today and stamp. Blessings....

We made this card at a recent card buffet.  I am lovin' Lost Lagoon more every day.  I really like it paired with Crumb Cake.  I used the stamp set Kinda Eclectic and some linen thread.  I also made this as a sympathy card using the Thoughts and Prayers stamp set, it also turned out great.  This is a simple look but it makes a great statement, don't ya think?
