Sympathy Card Set

Hello. Today, I am sharing some sympathy cards I made using the April Paper Pumpkin kit's extra stamp set called "All About Everything".   I kept my card pretty simple using one layer and 2 colors.  Here is Smoky Slate and Coral Calypso together.

I liked it so much that I made several more in Crisp Cantaloupe, Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush and Pool Party.  It was so nice to use some loved retired accessories. :)  I love the strip of washi tape running down the left side. It's retired but came from the Sweet Dreams collection in the 2015 Occasions catalog.  In the end, I made a total of 10 cards; 2 each in each color shown below.

Supplies:
  • Stamps: "All About Everything" April Paper Pumpkin kit and Rose Wonder (140697);
  • Ink: Basic Black and Smoky Slate;
  • Paper: Smoky Slate, Crisp Cantaloupe, Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush, Pool Party and Calypso Coral.
  • Accessories: Thick Bakers Twine in above colors, Sweet Dreams Washi Tape in Basic Gray, Curvy Corner Trio punch (139683), Versamark, White embossing powder, Basic Pearls and a retired flower punch.

Don't forget that you have until May 31, 2016, to order retiring products from the 2015-2016 Stampin' UP! catalog.  Click HERE for more information.   AE's Hostess Code for May 2016: BUNEGKTR

Impressions a Bloom for Sunday Stamps!

 Happy Sunday!  Right now I am knee deep in making decorations for my daughter's upcoming baby shower next weekend and the theme is Winnie the Pooh! lol :)  I am going to be a grandma for the first time and all I can say is that I am really is exciting! I forced myself to clear off my stamping table (well actually just push stuff away) and created a floral card for this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps!  The Impressions  a Bloom Bundle is one of my newest favorite sets and I really have not had time to create with all of the very many different ways you can with this set.  Here's my 2nd go. Soft pastel colors? Count me in!  And these petals exemplify the softness you can achieve with the Impressions a Bloom .  For these flowers, I stamped 2 in Peach Pie ink followed by Timid Tiger ink. The 3rd flower was stamped using Fresh Freesia ink. I first stamped off onto scratch paper and then used full strength for the detailed/outline stamp. Next, I d...

Perfectly Pears for Sunday Stamps!

 It's Sunday and today starts another new challenge at Sunday Stamps! Yahoo!  I love card challenges because it makes you think outside the box and at the same time gives you something to create with whether it be a color challenge or a sketch challenge.   For this weeks creation, I focused on the new Online Exclusive Bundle called Perfectly Pears .  This bundle is part of a suite and the products in the suite are gorgeous.  For this particular creation, I focused on the adorable set of pears and a few of the coordinating dies. I stamped the outline set of pears image using Pecan Pie ink and then stamped the solid part of the pear image using Darling Duckling ink which also had some Timid Tiger ink sponged onto it as well. I then took my Darling Duckling and my Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends and outlined some of the edges of the pears to add more depth to each Pear. Next, I colored the leaves and stem using Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends...
