Quick Sympathy cards

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing two simple sympathy cards with you.

Finding out someone has passed is usually sudden and you don't have

a lot of time to create a sympathy card if you don't have one on hand.

Here are two simple butterfly cards that came together quickly.

Here is another simple one. I like to use dies when I'm in a hurry 

because they take less time than coloring. The only stamping on 

my cards were the sentiments.

Arched Butterfly Sympathy Card

Happy Friday everyone!

Today I'm sharing a sympathy card that I made for a friend who 

just lost his mother.

I used ESSENTIAL ARCHES ETCHED DIES FROM THE GLIMMER GREETINGS COLLECTION for the base of the card.

The green border is from 5543 – Journal Template Die Set.

The beautiful butterfly is from 5811 – Gift Card Pocket Dies.

Floral Birthday and Sympathy

Hello and Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing two versions of a floral card.  I used the flower and birthday verse from

BOTANICAL.

I used the image

SWALLOWTAILon the inside of the card which you can see from the front.

I cut the front on an angle and lined the flowers on the edge.

Here's the inside.

This was a 60th birthday card that a friend requested for her mom.

The second version was a sympathy card.  The verse is from

EVERY DAY PHRASES.

I Brake for Butterfly Wishes!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a beautiful verse stamp with you.  Usually we think of the sentiment as being secondary, it's there to compliment the image.  This sentiment is the star of the card though. 

BUTTERFLY WISHES TEXT

It's such a pretty poem and the little butterflies accent it so beautifully.

My friend's grandmother passed away earlier this week (at 97) and I wanted to make something pretty for her.

I Brake for 2016!

Hello and happy Saturday!

This isn't just ANY Saturday...it's the first one of 2016.

Happy New Year everyone!

Today I'm sharing a thank you card.

I used two stamps from I Brake For Stamps on my card.

The first is a verse called Thanks So Much.

The image is called XLG Butterfly.

I always receive a lot of gifts at work from kids and co-workers so I need a lot of thank you cards.  This one is for one of the teachers I work with.  She absolutely loves birds and butterflies.

I was inspired by THIS card that I found on Pinterest.  I believe I changed it enough to call it my own.  Her original is so beautiful.  I just had to recreate it in some way.

I Brake for Birthdays, Butterflies and Blossoms!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a birthday card with you.  I've been trying my hand at water coloring a little bit lately and thought these flowers might look good done that way.

I used 2 different stamps from I Brake For Stamps.

I used...

EVERY DAY PHRASES

CHERRY BLOSSOM WITH DREAM

(I only inked the flowers and butterfly)

 

There are some Stickles on the insides of the flowers.  I also stamped the image twice so that I could pop  up the flower petals and the butterfly wings.

 

I used part of the flower to decorate the inside of the card too.
