Sympathy cards with Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps

Hi Everybody,

Some of the products I have used have been provided to me from various companies I design for. Affiliate links may be used in the links provided below.


Unfortunately COVID 19 struck New Jersey hard and I needed  several sympathy cards. Such  disturbing times......
Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps has a nice selection of them, you can see them all HERE.


I made a background with alcohol inks. always amazing what you can create with them.
The sentiment you can find HERE. I stamped it on vellum. I also used a larger sentiment inside, but I forgot to photograph it. You can see it  HERE



This is the second card I made. Same stamps, just different background.


Here are the 20% off stamp sale categories and card techniques.
We also have a big sale on nurse, doctor and medical-stamps.

You can get $5.00 store credit once a week. Each month we will have several categories on sale for 20% OFF and a technique for that month. All you have to do is make a card with at least one stamp from the sales category and use the technique (in May its "do a fold") and 
Vicky will put $5.00 on your store account and leave you a comment that it is done. We can't wait to see your creative work!

Sadly, I need a few of these, as well. Mine are NOT as beautifully done as yours. Love the way the alcohol inks blend and swirl so well and create the appropriate background. The sentiments are ideal.

I am so sorry you lost some friends because of a pandemic. The situation we are in is already depressing, and the loss of close people is a huge blow. I feel sorry for you, Cornelia. Your cards are so perfect for the occasion. The colors and designs you created using AI are amazing. Stay healthy and safe, Cornelia
hugs,
BożenA

I'm so sorry that you needed this type of card, Cornelia, but you have created 2 beautiful examples. The alcohol ink has produced such an arty, contemporary look and the sentiment is just perfect.
Have a lovely weekend.
Hugs

Da hast Du mal wieder ein, nein zwei wunderbare Karten gebastelt.
Der Anlass für solche Karten ist leider niemals schön.
Liebe Grüße

I'm sorry you needed these cards, Cornelia ... though I'm certain they and your thoughts inside will bring comfort to the bereaved ... they're subtle and stylish and beautifully understated. Hugs, Anita :)

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful!
