Petal Palette Sympathy

I hope all you Moms had a very Happy Mother's Day!  I got to spend the day with my family and was spoiled all day long, so it was good!

Now, I'm on to the big task of replenishing my card stash.  Since the beginning of the year it's been quite depleted, so now it's time to build it back up!  Every year at this time of the year, I pull out stamp sets that are under-used (by me) and are retiring.  For me, Petal Palette is one of those stamp sets.  So, I pulled it out to create this card that I'm sharing here today.

I started by stamping the leaf image in Mossy Meadow on a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  On a small piece of Shimmery White card stock, I stamped the floral image in Memento Tuxedo Black.  I colored the image with the Mossy Meadow and Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends families.  Then I cut out the image using the Petals and More dies.  The accent strip is a piece of Silver Foil Sheet cut out with another die from the same set.

The sentiment is from Flourishing Phrases, which you will see in the new catalog!

Forever Lovely

The new annual pre order for demonstrators is coming up later this week, but I'm not done picking up my favorites from the Occasions Catalog!  I got a new bundle in last week, so I sat down and made a couple of cards to share with you.

The bundle is called Forever Lovely.  It is in the front of the catalog and was really shown as part of Valentine's Day.  The 2 cards I'm sharing today are definitely NOT Valentine's Day. One is intended as a Mother's Day card and the other is intended as a wedding card.  Take a look.

This is the card that I think would make a great Mother's Day card.  I stamped the floral images in Daffodil Delight and the leaves in Granny Apple Green and Old Olive.  The image panel is adhered to a partial sheet of the the Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper that has been embossed with the Subtle embossing folder.  I punched around the panel with the Detailed Trio Punch.  A few Frosted and Clear Epoxy Elements were added to the front to complete the card.

For the wedding card, I used a panel of Whisper White card stock the floral spray die to create a border.  Next, I layered a panel of Crumb Cake that was embossed with the Subtle embossing folder.  The sentiment is from Flourishing Phrases.  I added a piece of 3/8" Metallic Edge Ribbon in Silver.

The supply lists to create these cards are shown below:

With Sympathy

Unfortunately, I recently had a need for a sympathy card.  While every sympathy card is tough, this one was one of the toughest.  This is the card I sent to my friend.
