Sympathy & Get Well with Eden’s Garden

March 18, 2024 / Leave a comment

Oh how sad it makes us to need to prepare a sympathy card; but remember that as you craft your card you can pray for their family and friends. I am using the Eden’s Garden Suite from my Stampin’ Up! stash. I also had the Forever Gold Specialty Laser cut paper to use on the card and Lovely Words dies for the inside. Take a look:

SU Delicate Dahlias stamp set had the greeting I used.

I made a get well card at the same time:

The greeting is from SU Speedy Recovery.

How did you get gold foil on the little leaves?

Well, Sal, it was the DSP itself that had gold foil. I didn’t use the Minc machine to foil, that would be a challenge! I do have a pen that I could use to color part of a DSP and then run it through the machine with gold foil but that is a challenge for another day.

Recipe

Base: Soft Succulent, 4 1/4 X 11, Scored at 5 1/2
Top: Ever Eden Foil Designer Series Paper (DSP), 3 1/2 X 4
Top Middle: Ever Eden Cotton Paper, 3/4 X 4 1/4, gives the look of a belly band
Top Bottom: Ever Eden plain DSP, 3/4 X 4
Gold Flourish: Forever Gold Specialty Paper, already laser cut so just punch out
Greeting: Soft Succulent, 2 1/2 X 2 1/2 stamp then cut with #4 circle die (4th from smallest)
- Stamp greeting in Evening Evergreen using stamparatus so you can stamp twice for darker greeting
- Sympathy: Delicate Dahlias stamp set; Get Well: Speedy Recovery stamp set
Inside Layer 1: Cotton Paper, 4 X 5 1/4
Inside Layer 2: Ever Eden plain DSP matching front bottom DSP, 3 3/4 X 5
Inside Layer 3: Ever Eden Foil Side of DSP, 3 1/2 X 4 3/4, die cut ‘Hugs’ from Lovely Words die
Hugs Layer: Gold Foil, 2 1/2 X 1 1/2, die cut the ‘Hugs’ only to layer on the DSP of layer 3
Bow: Evening Evergreen, 8″

Easy Peasy! Especially if you have the measurements. Getting those correct took a bit of time.

Imagine what you could do with other DSPs!

Exactly, Sal, with two coordinating DSPs and two coordinating card stocks for the base and the band you could do a lot.

So you’re going to add to your stash of ready to go cards by making several?

Well, I really don’t have much of a stash, and I have a friend who thinks its bad luck to make sympathy cards, and you pray a lot longer when you aren’t just pulling from the stash, and….. So, the short answer is ‘no’, I need to move on to the next needed cards.

Thank you for spending a bit of time with me today as we…

bring a pinch of creativity to spice up your crafting world!

SAL, Sending A Little prayer with each card

Ninja Turtle Birthday Cards & Gift Card Holder

February 2, 2022 / 1 Comment on Ninja Turtle Birthday Cards & Gift Card Holder

Hello Stamping Friends,

Would you like to look at December’s Mystery card?

What happened to January?

Ahh, January! Snowstorms caused us to cancel club twice but finally we had club on the last day of January. Obviously no days left for a Zoom meeting with a mystery card.

January 4th was my daughter Amber’s birthday and the 9th was Emmitt’s 4th birthday so we celebrated with a Ninja Turtle party! Paul had to be both grandpa and dad since dad was in Seattle.

.

Of course, he had to have a Ninja turtle card:

.

The little dog looks just like Ruger don’t you think?! I used the ‘Back on Your Feet’ stamp set and the ‘Ready For Christmas’ stamp set and ‘Christmas Staircase’ dies. I cut the curves with the ‘Polar Bear Dies’ and punched out a balloon. The number ‘4’ was die cut with the ‘Playful Alphabet’ die. I hand drew the Ninja mask!

Jaxson’s birthday was just two weeks earlier so he received a Ninja in red – I think that is Michaelangelo and the blue is Donatello.

.

Then January 7th our fifth grandbaby decided to come early and was born to Stacia and Jonathan. Emma became a big sister! Josephine Jasmine Whitehead entered the world weighing 5 lbs 13 oz. She was named after Paul’s mom! She was born one day before her daddy’s birthday on the 8th! Very special in so many ways!

. .

And if that wasn’t enough we had sold the motorhome after Christmas and in January Paul found a new truck and camper to make our travels better! It is an Arctic Fox 811. They sure make them better than the two cab over campers we owned in the past and it is a four season so we can take it to Steamboat to see the family!

.

Wow, that was quite the month! Now can we see the mystery card?

I needed several cards so I changed the front word die cuts to suit the situation:

.

I used a Crumb Cake base with a layer of Evening Evergreen, the gorgeous Ever Eden DSP-Designer Series Paper, another layer of Evening Evergreen with a Soft Succulent layer and then the Basic White for the art work. The middle card has an extra layer of the Ever Eden cotton paper that is very like tissue and made a nice background with a bit of a different texture. The gold is from our laser cut gold DSP and layered on top of stamped greenery and cut out greenery from the Sparkle of the Season bundle. Happy New Year and Happy Day are from the Word Wishes dies. Happy Birthday is the retired Birthday die.
