Graceful Garden Sympathy

Hello, crafty friends.  Today's share is a sympathy card I made for a sweet lady I have gotten to know through my  Stampin' UP! business who recently lost her husband.  There is nothing better than to give someone you care about a hand made card.


I was experimenting with my Stampin' Blend markers (again) and found that I could color the roses with the Stampin' Blends even though the images were not stamped with Memento Black ink. It worked with the Calypso Coral and Pool party inks, but did not work as well with the Old Olive ink.  NOTE: Stampin' Blends are not intended to be used with "regular" ink colors.  Stampin' UP! recommends that these markers be used with Memento Black ink.

However, I am not one to listen to rules when crafting. :)  I colored very lightly and did not try to blend too much.  Warning: do not try this at home....if you do and it does not work- I can not be held liable for ruined craft work. Craft at your own risk!  tee-hee.

Quilt card

This is a quilt card I made back in January at my up line's (Chris Smith) home.  I added the embossed flower using  the Daydream Medallions stamp set along with the SAB stamp set Madison Avenue .  These two stamp sets work well together.  The flower petals were made with  the Floral Frames Framelits die.  I will probably store these two sets together. : )  Recipe: Daydream Medallions, Madison Avenue (SAB) and Vintage Verses (SAB) stamp sets; Sycamore Street DSP (SAB), Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango card stock; Island Indigo, Versa Mark pad inks; White Emb. powder, Floral Frames Framelits, Postage Stamp punch, Square Lattice Emb. Folder, Pool Party SAB button and Whisper White Bakers Twine. Enjoy your day!  I have limited time to create my youngest child's birthday card...which is tomorrow!  Happy Stamping, and hope you get to stamp a latte!

Silly Old Bear Suite

 Happy Friday! Today, I have 2 very cute creations to share with you using the Silly Old Bear Suite . One Pooh Bear is a die cut right from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP , while the other Pooh Bear is stamped in Early Espresso ink and colored with the new Golden Glow Stampin' Blends. Every image on 2 sheets of the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP can be die cut out using the Sweet Old Friends Dies !  How cool is that?! The first card I made (on the right side) uses the new In Color Crisp Cantaloupe.  I stamped the frame from the Sweet Old Words   Stamp Set using Crisp Cantaloupe and die cut it out using the coordinating Sweet Old Words Dies followed by another Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock layer.   I also die cut 2 honey pot images from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP and a tree stump from the Sweet Old Friends Dies.    I created a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" money holder card using a 7 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock scored ...
