Petite Petals Sympathy Bouquet

Sadly it's time for another Sympathy Card for a friend who's elderly Mother passed away this past Friday.  I actually made another version as a thank you in another color yesterday, but I didn't want to show it with a Sympathy Card.  It just didn't seem right.



This great idea comes from a teammate of mine, Jean Piersanti.  I changed up the ribbon placement a bit and chose a different flower from the stamp set Petite Petals (w-133152 / c-133155) and of course the colors... lol, but the concept is hers and I fell in love with it!

I did one with Hello Honey and one with Crisp Cantaloupe.  I like the Cantaloupe one best - so far.
 

Simply stamp your flower on the Whisper White base (5 1/4" x 4") in a bit of round pattern.  It's okay if they overlap.  Then stamp more flowers on a separate piece of Whisper White and punch them out with the Petite Petals punch (133322).  Adhere several flowers with adhesive (104332) or Tombo glue (110755) and the rest pop up with Dimensionals (104430).

The flower stems are cut with Fringe Scissors (133325) and tie them together with Linen Thread (104199).  Use mini glue dots (103683)to stick the stems under the flowers (before you glue or adhere them on).
 

Here's the inside - using Hostess Set Bloom with Hope (w-133949  / c-133952).  Such a great little set.  Let me help you earn your own set by hosting a party.  You can choose this or any other items from the catalog for your Hostess Gifts depending on  your party sales.


Thank you for looking in today.  Come back tomorrow and I'll show you the pretty Thank You card I made for a special customer.

Get Your Santa On

Still on a Christmas theme here today, mostly because I really wanted to color this set with my Blendabilities!  They are just so much fun to color with and I've never been disappointed with how the blending turns out. 

These images come from Get Your Santa On (135761) from the Holiday Mini.  Do you have your copy yet?  If you don't have a Demonstrator and would like your very own copy, contact me and I'll send one to you right away!

This set has some really cute images which I'll be sharing with you over the next couple of months.


The background paper used is from the Trim the Tree DSP Stack (135824) with 48 sheets of 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" double-sided designs. 


Here they are side by side, one using Real Red as the base and the other with Garden Green.  My favorite Christmas Colors.  I guess I'm pretty traditional when it comes to Christmas.


Thank you for looking in today.  Back to the office for me, but it was a nice three-day weekend!

Christmas Cheer

Christmas Cheer... Isn't this such a sweet and simple stamp.  I love the crispness of the image this stamp produces and the Filigree Frame Textured Impressions Embossing Folder goes perfectly with it, don't you think?


I added some extra bling by coloring our Rhinestone Basic Jewels with our Blendabilities Markers.  I only wish they would photograph better.  They look beautiful in real life!


Thank you for stopping in today.  I hope this inspires you to make something beautiful.

Happy Monday!
