Thoughts & Prayers (Extra Long) Week #5

Thanks for sticking with me. :)  This card concludes my Thoughts & Prayers series.  This is a simple card that can easily be a happy card, by simply swapping out the sentiments.  The stamped flowers behind the sentiments were inked up with Rose Red.  Stamped off once on scratch paper, so it is a lighter shade.

My Supplies List (all supplies and images by Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):

Stamp Set(s): Thoughts and Prayers

Ink: Rose Red, Chocolate Chip

Papers: Rose Red

Accessories: Labels Framelits, Rose Red Seam Binding ribbon, Elegant Bouquet embossing folder

Thoughts & Prayers (Extra Long) Week #4

See, I told you I had more cards using this set.  Isn't this a beautifully serene card?  I wanted to showcase the vase punchart on this card.  Do you know what punch I used for this vase?  It's the Ornament punch with the pointy end cut off.  I then embossed the vase in Fancy Fan embossing folder. Added Dazzling Diamond on top, just to give it a little shine.  Topped off with some Basic Rhinestones.

The branch is first stamped in Early Espresso.  Then I used my Blender Pen, "erased" the flowers, and used a Baja Breeze marker to color the flowers.  Give the entire stamp a little huff before stamping, and voila!  Beautiful branch with flowers.

This card can really be any occasion you want it to be.  Just change up the sentiment.  I stuck with Thoughts & Prayers, since that's what I'm featuring, but I think this design can be great for an elegant birthday card, too, don't you think?

Thoughts & Prayers (Extra Long) Week #3

You must think I'm a total flake by now.  While I had my samples for last week, half way through showing my cards, I realized I didn't have pictures for the last 2.  Then I got busy with life and didn't get a chance to take pictures.  Then today, while looking through my files for pictures of other cards I wanted to show you, I saw one of the cards I thought I didn't photograph.  Oy.  Ya, I guess I'm a flake. Oops.  Oh well, you're stuck with me anyways. :)

This card is inspired by Angie.  I took her basic layout and made some alterations.  I just love using our framelits.  If you stamp before using the framelit, you can see exactly where you want to cut.  How cool is that?

Thoughts & Prayers Week #2

I love the simplicity of this card.  You might want to try it in black and white.  I have an aversion to black, so I used Basic Gray.  This is CASE'd from Deb.  Since I love using Dimensionals, the Top Note piece is popped up from the card base to give a bit of dimension.
