Sympathy Card Design

Nobody likes making sympathy cards, but it's always nice to have a few on hand when you need them. The Peaceful Place patterned paper provides the perfect serene backdrop for an elegant sympathy card. The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set. Change out the sentiment and this would also be a beautiful - and easy - Christmas card idea.

Floral Thank You Card Idea

I know this card looks a little more spring than fall, but y'all, I cannot get enough of the Pattern Party patterned paper. It's just too gorgeous! If you want to get your hands on this gorgeous paper, you have to host a workshop or class or place your own $150 order. But it is so worth it! 

I also used the Delicate Dahlias stamp set that is available for FREE during Sale-a-Bration! I can't get enough of these beautiful flowers either. With a photorealistic inside and a separate outline stamp for the outside, it is so versatile. If you haven't already, check out my video on the different looks you can get with these stamps.

Easy Halloween Treats

We don't get tons of Trick-or-Treaters at our house, so I wanted to make something a little special for the ghosties and ghoulies who knock on our door. However, not very many is still a fair number, so I needed the treats to be quick and easy. I came up with these little packages that fit two mini packages of starbursts. I was able to finish off 30 or so in just a couple hours. 
​
I cut strips of Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black cardstock that were 8.5" x 2.25". Then I scored each strip at 4" and 4.5". Because the strips were 8.5" long - the width of a piece of cardstock - I only had to make one cut for each strip. 

I slipped each end of the strip through my Tailored Tag punch in order to create a pointed end on each side. You can see how this works in this photo from a previous project.
​

I folded the sides up and stapled two mini starburst packages inside. Then I punched a hole at the top and closed it up with a piece of grosgrain ribbon from my stash. Instead of tying a knot directly, I used a second, skinnier grosgrain ribbon from my stash and tied a knot around the wider Old Olive ribbon. 

To finish it off, I added a piece of 2" x 3" patterned paper to the front and a "Happy Halloween" greeting. For a few of them, I also added a pumpkin stamp that I pulled from my stash.

Quick and easy and ready for the kiddos to come knocking!

A Wicked Birthday

Today I participated again in the TGIF challenges. This time, it was a sketch challenge. I love sketch challenges! I find that instead of being a challenge, they make card making easier. This week's sketch is pretty basic and leaves lots of room for creativity. But I kept my design pretty simple.

Supply List
For my card, I used the Monster Bash Designer Series Paper from the 2019 Holiday Catalog. This paper has so many fun and creepy images with lots of amusing details - like the titles of the books.
​
I cut the books on the left of the card from another sheet of the paper that looks like library shelves full of spooky, creepy books. I scored a line between the books and then folded them and rolled the books slightly. Although it's hard to see in the photo, I wanted the them to look like individual books with raised spines. To help them keep their shape, I cut apart mini dimensionals and placed them under the books, then I put a thin line of liquid adhesive where the edges of the books are. This raises the inside of the spine while holding the edges down to the paper and gives each book a curved spine. 

Since the "Wicked" die cut overlapped the books, I had to put dimensionals on it as well. This required quite a bit of finesse as the type is fairly thin and I had to cut the already small mini dimensionals into smaller pieces. 

I also popped the little spider on a dimensional and added a line in black to make it look like the spider was hanging off the words. 
Picture
Since I can never seem to make just one card, I made a second, very similar card, using different patterns from the Monster Bash Designer Series Paper. I cut the spider from some green glitter paper I had in my stash to give it a little glitz. 

I had a lot of fun with this week's sketch challenge. It was a wicked good time!
