The Easy Approach - Stamp up a Storm!

Hello stampin' friends! I have been on a stampin' frenzy over the weekend and so I promise to religiously post up for your viewing pleasure! This is another simple sympathy card, but as I have mentioned in the past, I tend to stamp up a whole bunch of cards from 1 double-side designer paper (this is another My Mind's Eye - So Sophie - Little Lady Considerate Tulip paper); stamp up a variety of sentiments in brown and black and navy to match just about any color combo (this is from Verve's newest release Thinking of YOU) and add another stamp focal point (Verve Great Friend smaller flower and mistletoe looking greenery) Matted with Bazzill textured Neutrals, black organdy ribbon with satin edges. I stamped the flowers with SU Purely Pomegranate (off stamped 1), used Old Olive for the greenery and used a Hero Arts script background stamp over the whole stamped up focal point.

If you take this flexible approach and stamp up some cards and add the sentiments as you need a card - you will be prepared for any occasion.

Hope this inspires you to stamp up a storm!

TTFN!

I'm Back! and I'm Stamping!!

Hello Stampin' Friends! I apologize for being MIA for so long. We were privileged to return to England for 2 weeks to see parts of East Anglia, including Cambridge. Lavenham, Lincoln, Duxford and then finally London for some really amazing theater. What a great time! Of course, in my everyday, not stampin' job, it never pays to go on vacation....there is too much catch-up to do when you return!! Why I am hardly caught up on email and I've been home almost 2 weeks!

Finally today, I was able to stamp a BUNCH of cards for catch-up in my stampin' life as well. I made this simple sympathy card to send to family back home. We lost one of ourselves a couple of weeks ago and so my thoughts are with all - and I wanted to stamp something meaningful to let them know I am thinking of them even though quite a distance separates us.

This card used So Sophie double sided designer paper, PTI's new Leaf Prints set, Verve's single stamp Psalm 46:1 and Kind Words Thinking of You has the lovely scripted With Sympathy.

Have a great start to your week!
