Thoughtful Wishes

Hello friends,

Another Sympathy card today. I like simple but elegant cards for sympathy cards like this one using the Thoughtful Wishes dies (#163313).

I cut the leafy image from the Gold from the Silver & Gold 12”x12” Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper (#162288). This was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228) which was dry embossed with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder (#164695). I matted this with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment is from the retired Painted Glass stamp set. I love the elegance of this script. This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added the Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678). The Heat Tool (#129056) was used to set the powder. I cut the sentiment with a Labelled With Love die (#163570). I daubered the edges with Wild Wheat ink (#161651) and attached the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The cross was cut with the retired Cross Of Hope dies, also using the Gold Glimmer Paper. The embellishments are the Low-Profile Dots (#164658).

Thoughtful Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello again stamping friends,

I cut squares from the Thoughtful Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper (#163317) and attached them to the Basic White card front (#159228). This beautiful Pearlised paper has an Ombre effect on each sheet, with a soft graduation of colours.

The card front was then matted with Flirty Flamingo card (#141421) and attached to the Basic White base card.

I cut the leafy image using a Thoughtful Wishes die (#163313) with the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). I cut this in half and attached the 2 pieces to the card, allowing you to see more of the leaves.

The flowers from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set (#162684) was stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052). The 2 circles were cut with the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580). These were taped together, then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used on the stamped image and the embellishments are from the Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems (#161288).

At this stage I haven't added a sentiment but will add it when I decide what I need the card for.

Welcome again friends,

I have had a couple of days away, so sorry for my absence. Today is another easy card, a variation from the last card and also using the gorgeous Thoughtful Journey 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#163303).

The DSP was matted with Cajun Craze card (#121683) and attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550). I used one of the Happy Little Things dies (#163709) to cut the banners. The card used for these are Misty Moonlight (#153086), Peach Pie (#163800), Cajun Craze, Wild Wheat (#161734) and Lost Lagoon (#133686). I dry embossed these banners with one of the Basics Embossing Folders (#161598). These were taped to the DSP.

I cut the detailed leaf using a Thoughtful Wishes die (#163313). This Mossy Meadow card (#133683) was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) so it was easily attached to the card.

“Celebrate” is cut with dies from the Wanted To Say dies (#161594) using Very Vanilla card & Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). The Gold Foil was also backed with Adhesive Sheet. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).
