Sympathy Card

Hello,

I made this card for my friend yesterday.  Her sister passed away last week.  Sympathy card is my least favorite card to make.

Stamp image was from Stampin' Up! I printed the sentiment.  Pattern paper was from DCVW.

Hello Blogger Friends!

Are you long for Spring weather? So far our winter is not too bad but I am still looking forward to the beautiful Spring weather.  With Spring in mind, I made this card inspired from my old Stampin' Up! magazine.

Thanks for taking a peak!

Five Minutes Thank You Card

Hello Blogger Friends!

I bought this embossing folder from Ac Moore last year.  I just opened the package over the weekend to make this card.  The embossing folder itself is gorgeous so I didn't need to do much. 

I wanted a white ribbon but I didn't have any so I settled with purple.  I think any color would look just as good.

Thanks for stopping by!

Parchament Card

Hello,

I first saw the parchment card at Dr. Sonia's blog. I was very interested. So I gave it a try. Here is my result.

 I tried with cookie sheet that had the word "Parchment" on the box  but it didn't work. I tried with Vellum and that was my result.  This was the most difficult craft that  I tried.  I think it was because I don't like to hand emboss.  You can fine free pattern here.

With Love Note Card

Hello,

A quick note card.  

This is another lay out that I got from the stampin up magazine.  I made the petal pocket to hold the little note.  The pocket looks too plain so I added a little crochet heart.  This is the first time that I had so many hearts on one card.  The little flower was to cover up the ink that was smeared.  I really like Stampin' Up! Whisper Card stock but EVERY TIME  I stamped it I got ink on the area where I don't need ink.

Until next time

Hand Embrodery Hearts Altered Wooden Box

Hello,

 I bought this string art template from scarp book convention several years ago.   The template came with only 3 hearts.  I had to made a new circle template to fit on this wooden box that I got from AC Moore.  Then I joined 4 hearts together to make the center piece.

As always thanks for stopping by!
