With Heartfelt Sympathy card

I created a batch of sympathy cards recently. I noticed that my stash of that sentiment was depleted.  Unfortunately, I am glad I made them.  I have sent out two in the last month.  I sent this one to a crafty friend who lost her husband.  The background paper was from a second hand stash that I purchased which was already cut down to A2 size.  I suspect it is Stampin Up but have not confirmed such.  I found some coordinating scraps and die cut the foliage and word.  I stamped and die cut the "with heartfelt".

Ingredients:

Divinity Designs With Sympathy Stamp/Die Duo

Stampin Up Mango Melody ink

Scrapbook.com Market Blooms Sunshine Blooms dies (foliage)

Gina K Sentiment Strips Die Set

misc papers

Hello and welcome to my latest Atlantic Hearts Challenge sketch inspiration.  I used the papers that were still on my desk from my last scrapbook layout.  

Here is this week's sketch.

I used several dies to create the frame and foliage but I also fussy cut some of the patterned paper.

It's hard to see but the pink flowers on the purple strip are foiled.  So pretty in person.  I picked the bling to match.

Stampin Up Musical card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge

Welcome once again to my inspiration for the latest Atlantic Hearts Challenge sketch.  I began with the idea to create a thank you card for a friend.  I stamped a musical background on an A2 piece of shimmer card stock.  I used a rainbow ombre ink pad and then die cut strips of the stamped image.  I spaced them appropriately on the green mat layered .25" smaller than the A2 card of white card stock.

Here's this week's sketch:

I cut two nesting circle dies and stamped and embossed the sentiment on the white top circle.  I found some music note dies in my stash and added those as embellishments.

Ingredients:

Stampin Up Music background stamp

Stampin Up Music From the Heart

Stampin Up Kaleidocolor Celebration ink

Colorbox Mix'd Media Black ink

Judikins Northwoods embossing mix-half detail clear and half detail black

Stampin Up Grateful Bunch with Melody Ross Homespun collection

Hello today and welcome to my blog.  Anyday is a good day to tell someone they are awesome!  I pulled this awesome little card together from scraps out of my stash and a versatile stamp set.

Here's the sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

I found the background die cuts in my stash of unused cuts.  So that's where I began.  I then searched my stash for something that complimented the pink and silver.  That's when I ran across some scraps of Melody Ross Homespun collection. I used pieces of paper, packaging and chipboard embellishments.

To finish up the card, I stamped and punched some flowers from Stampin Up Grateful Bunch.  Finally, I added sequins and twine to the tag.

Ingredients:

Stampin Up Grateful Bunch with Blossom Bunch Punch

Stampin Up inks: Raspberry Ripple and Primrose Petals

Creative Memories Tag Punch

Divinity Designs Double Stitched Rectangle dies

GDC Meoldy Ross Homespun collection: borders, chipboard and packaging

American Craft twine
