Happy Monday, peeps! Hope you had a pleasant weekend. I was able to do a little stamping and came up with a couple of cards! The first one is for Kim's FMS sketch; I needed a sympathy card for our youth pastor who lost a family member and I thought that sketch was quite intriguing....here's the sketch:
and here's the card:
As I was perusing my stash of DSP, I realized that the Poinsettia Place DSP had some patterns that were sort of generic and might look good for a sympathy card. I used a stitched strip die from Pretty Pink Posh to cut three pieces of DSP, then used my Stamparatus to stamp a sentiment from Comfort and Hope in between:
A stitched leaf in Garden Green along with some Linen Thread was my embellishment. On the inside, a sentiment from Here's a Card, plus some greenery from the Comfort and Hope set:
I hope it brings them some peace.
I also have a card for the Jingle Belles challenge of "inchies"---think big but go small! So cute, I love little inchie things, especially when I have a 1" punch that makes cutting them out a breeze! Plus it gives you a chance to use up some of those little scraps we all have! So here we go:
I have had this pad of DSP from Illustrated Faith for a long time and haven't used it much, so I chose some of the patterns (hard to do, as they all are cute and they all coordinate!), punched them out and layered them on my card. I added some doodads to make them even prettier:
The only stamping was the sentiment (Paper Smooches) and a little cardinal from a retired SU set called Nature's Christmas! The inside was stamped with some Illustrated Faith images as well:
Thanks so much for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
