Happy Thursday! Hope everyone is enjoying the summer so far. We have another sympathy card but really need more birthday cards. We have 4+ birthdays in our family this month. Hopefully I’ll have time for stamping this weekend! Or I’ll need to dig through my stash!

Good Evening! We are sad to be heading back to work tomorrow 😢 less time for stamping.
Tonight’s card is the same as yesterday’s layout with a color change and word change ( needed another sympathy card!) The colors are beautiful and the picture doesn’t do it justice!

Have a good week!
We thought we’d better update anyone who tried to place an order in the last day or two – We used Square process for credit cards and they suddenly quit working. We disconnected and tried to reconnect (Go Daddy told us too!) and now it doesn’t recognize our passwords. We tried calling square only to be told there is an “uncommon outage” whatever that means! We have reconnected credit cards to Go Daddy so the website is again accepting credit cards! Thanks to Lynn who called me to let me know she was having trouble! So a few quick cards I made for my son – hard to stay away from flowers!
All using the same stamp and random cutting dies I found in my stash – really old ones!
I have been having a good time stamping since my mobility is decreased due to the belly incision not healing right. I think it’s getting better but hard to tell! I start back to work 4 hours a day today – that’s probably all my brain can take. Looking forward to getting some kind of routines going again. This card is so elegant in real life- pictures don’t tell the whole story. Happy Monday!
So I did take Kevin’s advice yesterday and didn’t “over due it” and stamped pretty much all day! I love this layout! I started with several sheets of 8.5×12 card stock and cut at 5.5” on the 11 inch side; then cut two pieces 4×5.25” and 3.75×5”. I discovered that you can’t score the paper under the circles to just cover the circles to save paper. You have to use a full 3.75×5 piece. Well, I guess you don’t have to but if you want your card to look good you need to! What I like about cutting several cards is then I can just make cards and not have to get up and cut every time. I did take two circle die cuts and cut out of the 4×5.35” paper- they did go on random – in other words I didn’t measure to get them in an exact spot. I scored the 3.75×5 all the way across- again it makes the cards even across.
Normally I would not tape these pieces together and stamp but because of the curl on the scored paper and I wanted a photo- I had to.
Will let this be all for now- but more to come!
Happy Saturday!
We have a gorgeous day here in Wisconsin. I feel like we’ve had a very cool summer which is probably ok since we didn’t get the pool open this year.
Last night after supper I decided to make some sympathy cards since I was down to none. Our son is a minister and he asked for some sympathy cards the other day and I only had two! He likes them simple with nothing inside so I went to work last night.
I started with this card…I had seen the layout and I wanted to try it.
The pictures don’t really do it justice but it is simple and clean. I used an old cutting fern die – I think from Making Memories. The stamp was C331 Hearfelt Sympathy Sm
Made a couple of other quick ones…This one uses the larger D368 Heartfelt Sympathy Med
Enjoy your day! I have this boatload of cucumbers to get pickled!
We made this stamp for a friend who lost her baby in the last trimester and now we have had a second friend experience the same. There are just no words..
The card is pink and grey but the grey doesn’t photograph very well.
Stamps Used: F321 No Words; F323 Sending Love this time of Sorrow;
I’m sorry but I do not know the manufactures of the Cutting Die – just pulled it out of my stash!
Oh the weather is delightful! It is 82 degrees here in WI! Loving it.
Happy New Year! The holidays are over and it’s back to work. I’ve been working on some cards- I always need sympathy cards so here is a few more…
I like this very simple fern for sympathy cards. It is an old Cutting Die from My Favorite Things.
Stamps Used: D375 With Sympathy; F232 Sending Love; D368 With Heartfelt Sympathy; G374 Loved One Special;
I hope your holidays were good. We had a fantastic vacation in Arizona and missed all the really cold weather in Wisconsin.
Hello! I’m working on my sympathy card stash. I had a little delay because my cutting mats were all warped and I needed to flatten them. It’s a easy process but took a little time this morning but I’m good to go now and cutting has resumed! I do like simple cards and todays card is really simple
