The Stampin' Up! Thoughts and Prayers set (wood, clear) make beautiful sympathy cards. This is my go-to set for sending comforting thoughts in difficult times. Included are two beautiful images but I find the heartfelt sentiments are exactly right when it's hard to find words.
Using neutral colors with a Crumb Cake emphasis, I've used the 5/8" Flower Trim and the Tea Lace Paper Doilies as accents on this card. Look closely to notice the subtle difference in color. Here's a video tutorial to show you how to get that look.

My poor Stippled Blossoms (wood, clear)stamp set has barely seen the light of day! What was I waiting for??? It was love at first stamp! This set features the Stampin' Up! Two Step Stampin' technique. I stamped the blossom in Primrose Petals. Then, there is a coordinating stamp, a highlights/outline/ shadow image of the same blossom, that is stamped over top of the first blossom in Raspberry Rippleto get this beautiful, dimensional looking image.

My husband lost a close friend and we went to the funeral services today. It was sudden and unexpected. Makes me truly appreciate the time with loved ones. Reach out to your family, friends, neighbors. We're all here to help each other through this life. Cherish every moment!
I love sharing little gift ideas for the holidays! Last year, I posted these wrapped candles and Christmas tag in this post,and it was so popular that I wanted to once again share this Stampin' Up! tutorial that I created available in the Amazon Kindle Store.
It is atutorial with step by step instructions and full size color photos to create this little box that's the perfect size for a few sweet treats or a scented votive candle! I have made many of these and talk about perfect to have on hand for holiday guests, hostesses, neighbors...endless possibilities!

However, you may substitute other images for this project! Customize it to your liking! And, you can use these tips and how-to's throughout the year and customize for any occasion or season!

Stampin' Up! Video Tutorial- Perfectly Preserved Inking Technique
Got your FREE downloads yet? Don't wait any longer! Time is running out!
It's been "snow" much fun working with the Stampin' Up! Snow Flurry Bigz Die! It's so impressive and the size makes it the perfect focal point for holiday cards.
Stampin' Up! Christmas Card Snow Flurry and Greetings of the Season
The base of the card is stamped with the En Francais background stamp (109521) in Cherry Cobbler for a tone on tone look. Noel from Greetings of the Season (wood, clear) is gold embossed directly on the background.
Don't you love the colors of fall? Here, the Orchard Harvest DSP is bursting with color and is combined with Autumn Accents leaves accented with an easy technique that really adds a fun pop to this card!
Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Bigz Die and Orchard Harvest DSP
The coordinating patterns and colors in the designer paper make it easy to design and assemble your projects. The plaid and leaf pattern are separated with a rich band of color.
Love that pop of color on these Stampin' Up! Autumn Accents Leaves.
Tomorrow, I'll have a video tutorial with this simple inking technique that will add a richness and depth to your paper crafting projects. All you'll need for this technique is an ink pad or two! Gather your supplies and join me here tomorrow to give it a try!
Emboss resist is one of my favorite techniques and this Natural Composition Specialty Paper gets the look without the embossing. Can you say "time saver"? You know when you need a card in a hurry and you don't have time for fuss. This is the paper to grab! It's beautiful plain or sponged with color as you see here.
Stampin' Up! Birthday Card - World Card Making Day
I think a black and white color scheme on a card is so elegant! This is that discontinued DSP pack from the past that I absolutely loved, Night and Day. I used that same designer paper in the "blast to the past card" in THIS POST. I believe the floral image is from the retired, Fifth Avenue Floral set. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the current and popular, Teeny Tiny Wishes (wood), (clear). The combination of patterns in the designer paper and the "night and day" contrast make this card one of my favorites. I think I'll try this same sketch soon with some current products!
