Sorry For Everything

Posted on by

Although I love to make cards, I am never happy to have to make a sympathy card.  It is funny (well not funny) but I never used to send sympathy cards.  I don’t know why.  I just didn’t.  I don’t ever remember my parents getting sympathy cards when their parents passed away so maybe it was just something they didn’t do either.  Then my step father died and I received so many beautiful cards.  It made a difference knowing I was going through a tough time and my friends cared enough to send (and make) me a card.

Stampin’ Up! came out with a new stamp set in the 2017/2018 Annual Catalog.  It is called Sorry For Everything and it really fits everything.  It covers everything from forgetting a birthday to the loss of a pet.  It includes break ups, get well, retirement, moving and so much more.  It is a set everyone should own.

Although it is hard to tell, this card is a fun fold card.  The Designer Series Paper I used is called Eastern Palace.  The flower is from Colorful Season and cut out using the Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies.  The leaf is from a set in the 2017 Holiday Catalog called Painted Harvest and the matching Leaf Punch.

Here is another new stamp set that is in the 2017 Holiday Catalog.  This one is called Painted Harvest.  This stamp set has an amazing matching punch called Leaf Punch and you can save 10% by purchasing them in a  Bundle.  I have been waiting for a leaf punch forever (and so have my customers).  I think it will be very popular so if you like it, order it soon.

The stamp set is a two step stamp set.  This means you use two or more stamps to make one image.  As you can see in the card the flowers are two colors.  I stamped the background flower in Peekaboo Peach and the inner part of the flower with Pumpkin Pie ink.  The leaves are in Lemon Lime Twist and the flower centers are Crumb Cake.

The stamp set and Punch are part of a suite that Stampin’ Up! offers.  I love that they put products together in a suite so there is no guessing what products go together.  The suite has Designer Series Paper called Painted Autumn, 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon and Touches of Nature Elements which are flowers and leaves in white washed wood.

The sentiment is from the stamp set called Beautiful Bouquet.

I do have to say, as much as I love all the new products, I am having a hard time getting myself to sit down and stamp.  The problem is I have this view to look at every day and every night.  It is hard to keep my eyes off of.  I’ll be better when we move back home and my view is of the basement walls!

Colorful Seasons Fun Fold

Posted on by

I am sure you can all tell that I love Fun Fold cards.  I love any cards but Fun Folds are definitely my favorite.  I think I like them because they are unexpected.  It is always wonderful to get a card in the mail but there is something special about a card that is different then a normal card. It is, well, fun!

This is a tri-fold card.  It is pretty simple to make.  All you do is cut a piece of cardstock the long way so it is 4.25″ x 11″.  Then you score it at 2.25″ on one end and 3.25″ on the other end.  The makes the ends of both sides meet in the  middle.  To make it overlap I just added a 4.25″ x 1.50″ piece of Pick A Pattern Designer Series Paper and cut it using the scalloped die from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies.  Then I just added a little strip of Whisper White on the end so the scalloped edge stood out.  Lastly, I cute three 4.25″ x .25″ pieces of Designer Series Paper to add to the top.

The stamp set I used is called Colorful Seasons and if you buy the Seasonal Layers Thinlits in a Bundle together you can save 10%.  By the way, those with eagle eyes will see a sneak peek of something from the Holiday Catalog.  It is a new leaf punch that I was so excited to see.  We have needed one for a while!  It is part of an awesome Fall Bundle that is going to be a must have on everyone’s list.
