Stampin’ Up! Touched My Heart Sympathy

Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers. How is everyone’s week going? We’re halfway through and on the way to the weekend already. As of now they are saying it’s going to be a nice weekend, but this is NJ and the weather changes hourly.

Today’s card is one I really don’t like making. It’s one thing if I make them to have on hand, but it’s another when I have to make one special. One of my daughter’s friends brother died last weekend while out hiking in AZ. Dehydration and heat stroke they believe. Young man, only in his 30’s, very sad. I wanted to make a card for her friend and mother since I knew both of them, so here’s what I made.

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Host Touched My Heart Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on a Misty Moonlight panel. I immediately sprinkled it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool.

I embossed the panel using my Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder. I then adhered a panel of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper to the top of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Misty Moonlight 1/4″ 2020-2022 In-Color Ribbon around the panel and tied a knot.

I cut 3 leave using the Nature’s Roots Dies, one in Bumblebee, one in Cajun Craze and one in Real Red. I adhered the leaves just under the knot using Glue Dots and then added a Glue Dot under the knot. I adhered the card front to a Misty Moonlight card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampn’ Up! Path of Petals Photopolymer Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the tall tree from the Stampin’ Up! Rooted In Nature Cling Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink, stamping off once, over the sentiment. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the tall tree from the Rooted in Nature stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the envelope front.

I adhered a panel of In Good Taste DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my bog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Flowering Blooms Sympathy CAS

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends.  How is everyone feeling today?  Is anyone doing anything fun this weekend?  I’m working today and I’m not sure what tomorrow will bring.

I have a Clean & Simple card for you today.  A friend of mine asked me to make her a pack of Sympathy cards so she could have them on hand.  She knows a lot of people and is pretty well known in our area.  I actually needed a sympathy card last week and realized I don’t have any in my stash, guess I need to make some for me also.  Here’s my card for today.

I started by stamping the rose image from the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Blooms Cling Stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink on a Whisper White panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Touched My Heart Cling Stamp Set, (which is a host set), next to the flowers on the bottom of the panel in Basic Gray Ink.  I embossed the panel using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder to give it a little texture.

I adhered the artwork to a Smoky Slate mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then to a Basic Gray card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a few Elegant Faceted Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the rose image from the Flowering Blooms stamp set in Basic Gray Ink, stamping off twice, in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Path of Petals Photopolymer Stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink over the flower image.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Smoky Slate mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic Gray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the rose image from the Flowering Blooms stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the envelope front and flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Touched My Heart Sympathy CAS

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends.  Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers, grandmothers, God mothers, mothers to be, step mothers, aunts, animal mothers and all our angle mothers.  I hope you all have a very enjoyable day. I’m hoping to get in some crafting time since we really can’t go anywhere.  This will be my first without my mom, so it’s going to be a little tough for me.

Today’s card is one of those we don’t like to make, but we have to.  I received my preorder last week and one of the sets I received was a Host exclusive set which just happen to have a Sympathy sentiment in it.  Here’s my card for today.

My design was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #434.  They had the perfect clean and simple design for my sympathy card.  Here is their sketch.

I started by adhering a panel of the Old Olive Regals 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to an Old Olive card base using Snail.

I cut 2 rectangles out using the Stitched Rectangles Dies from a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock.  I embossed the rectangles using the new Tasteful Textiles 3D Embossing Folder (available June 3rd).  I adhered the rectangles to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a Whisper White panel I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Touched My Heart Host Cling Stamp Set (available June 3rd) in Old Olive Ink.  I stamped the leaf image from the Touched My Heart stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink below the sentiment, stamping off twice.  I cut the image out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Path of Petals Photopolymer Stamp Set in Old Olive Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the leaf images from the Touched My Heart stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on either side of the sentiment stamping off once.  I adhered a strip of the Old Olive Regals 6 X 6 DSP to the bottom of the panel using Snail.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Crumb Cake mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Old Olive card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the leaf images from the Touched My Heart stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the envelope front.  I adhered a panel of the Old Olive Regals 6 X 6 DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and have a wonderful day.  Happy Stamping!!
