Ginkgo Branch

We all need those type of cards that are a bit more difficult to make, or at least they are for me so when I saw the Ginkgo Branch stamp set (160463) with it’s simplistic image and lovely sentiments I knew it would a nice one to add to my collection.

And today’s card that I’ll be sharing with you use the Ginkgo Branch Bundle (160469).

Not only does the Ginkgo Branch Dies (160468) cut out the images in the set, it also has a lovely line image and label. Check out this first card that uses simple stamping.

This time the image is stamped in Soft Succulent and a bit of color has been added behind the image with our Balmy Blue Classic Ink and Blending Brushes (153611). The sentiment as been heat embossed and cut out with the lovely label die. Can you see the details the die adds? A couple of Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins (160387) and Balmy Blue & White 1/2″ Variegated Ribbon (160448) are added to complete the card.

And this next card uses our Saddle Brown Stazon and Pearlescent Specialty Paper (154291) to create a lovely soft shimmery image.

The Raindrops Embossing Folder (160551) adds a bit of texture to the Calypso Coral and the So Saffron sentiment layer has been once again cut out with the die. The set has a watercolor look built it to the images of this set since it is a DistInkTive stamp which makes the look effortless.

Heartfelt Sympathy

Looking for a wonderful stamp set to create those sympathy cards you need? I find sympathy cards one of the most difficult cards that I find I need to make and so this set is a great option for me. How about you? Do you find these type of cards difficult?

Here are two wonderful cards that I received during one of my swaps using this stamp set. While they use the same set they have a different feel to them.

This first card is done in classic black and white. The color combo can’t miss in my opinion, which of course is why it’s classic. Right?

Heartfelt Sympathy SC Annual Swap 2015

And this second card has a softer feel to it – Done in neutrals with a bit of Silver Glimmer Paper.

Heartfelt Sympathy and Watercolor Wash SC Annual Swap 2015

So which do you like?

Why not take a look at the Heartfelt Sympathy stamp set on page 27 of the Annual Catalog? It’s got some lovely images and a wonderful font  for those cards that you need for those difficult days.

Simply Sketched Sympathy Card

Seems like lately I’m finding myself in need of sympathy cards. So today I worked on one for a friend who recently lost her mother. This card I created is clean and simple and I really like the way it turned out.

Simply Sketched Sympathy (1)

I  created this card using the Simply Sketched Hostess Stamp Set (12969/129672) and the Oh, Hello Stamp Set (131931/130733) from the 2013 Annual Catalog. Stamped in Midnight Muse the images from the Simply Sketched Stamp Set are perfect for sympathy cards. I’ve used the Naturals White Card Stock since this card stock is a bit more muted and earthy feeling.

As a final pop of color I’ve used the Midnight Muse 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon (126847)to make an elegant bow across the bottom portion of this card. And great news this ribbon is part of this week’s Weekly Deals – so why not order yours today?

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Simply Sketched (Hostess 129669/129672) and Oh, Hello (131931/130733)

Inks: Midnight Muse (126860) and Pool Party Classic Stampin’ Pads (126982)

Paper: Midnight Muse (126843) and Naturals White Card Stock (102316)

Accessories: Midnight Muse 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon (102316), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430), and Glue Dots (103683)
