Stash of Simple Cards

 Hello Stampers and Friends,


Today I made a bunch of simple note cards for a customer. She wanted cards for various occasions including Thank you's, birthday, and sympathy.   I was inspired by the simple design of the recent cards I made so I decided to make a stash using the same basic simple design and utilizing my designer series papers (DSP) since I have collected quite a few of those!  Some are retired DSP and some are current, but all are from Stampin Up.  All have a base of Thick Whisper White cardstock. I used the envelope die to decorate the back flap of the envelope with the corresponding paper.  The sentiment layer is propped up with dimensional for  extra depth to the layers.  I love this idea so much I want to make a stash for myself to have handy for when an occasion pops up. It was really simple to make and did not take long.   Here are the cards I just mailed off to my customer.  Hope she loves them!

Sympathy Cards with Dandy Garden Suite

 Recently I purchased Stampin Up's Dandy Garden Suite and today I made some simple sympathy cards with this new suite. I love the dragonfly stamp and punch in this suite which I made that the focal point of the cards.  These cards are for my cousins and aunt who recently loss their dad and husband.  I like to think of the dragonfly as my uncle flying off to a better place yet keeping an eye on his family.   

Here are the cards- I used the same simple monochromatic design for all 3, using a different color for each.  Each envelope was stamped with a corresponding stamp of dragonflies.




From left to right, the colors are Blackberry Bliss, Misty Moonlight, and Mossy Meadow. Here's a close up with the dragonfly.


Hoping these cards bring a small token of comfort that we are thinking of them and remembering the good times with Uncle Bob.

January Birthday Cards

 Happy New Year!!!  I am so glad its 2021 and 2020 is now in the past.   I am hoping for a much better year and for the end of the pandemic.  


Here are some recent birthday cards I have made for January birthdays!!  



This one was made for one of Levi's friends who loves the outdoors and hunting.  I used a retired Stampin Up (SU) stamp and layered with SU's Always Artichoke and More Mustard cardstock. It was very quick and easy. 



This stamp set is for my friend. She loves color and flowers so hopefully she loves this card.  I used the new Stampin Up set called Simply Succulent for this and then colored the flowers with my Stampin Up Blends and Copic markers.  This card took a little more time for the coloring but I find the coloring to be so relaxing. The paper is Pool Party cardstock and the purple is Purple Posy Designer Series Paper. I recently discovered a new way to dress up my cards by using the envelope decorative die to dress up the back flap of the envelope! I love the coordinated look it gives! 



And this card is obviously for a February birthday card! This card was made for a customer who wanted a fun Valentines themed birthday card for a cat lover! So I used a collection of cats punched out of Valentines designer series paper put and put them down in a random collection!  I love cats too so this card was really fun for me to make! 


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
