JustRite Stamps: Sympathy Cards

Hi Everyone, 

I still had my Sympathy Nested Sentiments & Verse from JustRite Stamps sitting out on my table after the cards that I made yesterday and I thought I would create some more sympathy cards while everything was still out. I always find it difficult to make sympathy cards - but these sentiments are so beautiful and sweet that it makes it easier to create a card for such a difficult time. 

These sentiments are so lovely: one sentiment reads: "My heart goes out to you in your time of sorrow" and the other card reads "May time ease your sorrow and give you Peace" I tired to keep the layout very simple  so that the focus was on the sentiment .It is hard to see in the picture, but the ribbon is ruffled. The paper has some lovely silver embossed butterflies - so I popped some butterflies that I punched out with a wee bit of dimensionals.

Card Ingredients:
Paper: From stash - black cardstock is from Bazzil
Stamps:  Sympathy Nested Sentiments & Verse from JustRite Stamps
Ink: Memento Ink Tuxedo Black Ink
Accessories: Liquid pearls, butterfly punch from MS, stickles, small scallop punch, flower embellishment.

There are some different sized fonts in this stamp set and for this card, I used the larger font sizes. I hope that I don't have to give any of these cards out - but its nice to have these in my card stash so that it can be of comfort to someone through a difficult time.

Thank so much for stopping by!
Hugs,
Sankari :)

JustRite Stamps: Sympathy Thoughts and Prayers

Hi Everyone,

It's always hard to make sympathy cards - but these beautiful sympathy sentiments from the Sympathy Nested Sentiments & Verse stamp set from JustRite stamps. I kept the layout very simple so that I could make more than two cards using the different sentiments. There was something nice about coming black with a dark periwinkle color and shimmery pearlescent papers. 

I stamped the sentiment directly onto the shimmery papers and then created a line of liquid pearls underneath the sentiments. 

Using some butterfly punches with a touch of stickles on them, I attached them to the card and finished it off with a flower embellishment and some May Arts ribbon.

Here is a picture of both of the cards together:

Card Ingredients:

Paper: Black cardstock and DP from stash, Blue cardstock from Bazzill

Stamps: Sympathy Nested Sentiments & Verse stamp set from JustRite stamps. 

Ink: Black Tuxedo Ink (Memento)

Accessories: May Arts ribbon, flower embellishments, MFT large scalloped dies, liquid pearls, corner chomper, MS butterfly punches and dimensionals.

All of the sentiments in the Sympathy Nested Sentiments & Verse stamp set from JustRite stamps are of such a beautiful font and so sweet & heartfelt that it makes it very easy to create a card for such a sad and hard occasion. I was thinking to create some more cards with this stamp set to have on hand. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Big hugs,

Loving Memories....

Good Morning Everyone,

Hope you had a lovely weekend, I am always amazed at how fast time flies! Can't believe that its tuesday already! My sweet aunty called me last week to see if I could create a card for a dear friend of hers who had lost her daughter and I felt honored that I could create a card for her.

Its always hard to create a sympathy card - somehow it always feels so sad - but it felt nice at the same time to create something handmade and from the heart. I used two gorgeous and beautiful stamp sets from Taylored Expressions called: Summer Afternoon and Care and Comfort to create this card:

Card Ingredients:

Paper:Choice ButterCream cardstock and MME (So Sophie collection)

Stamps: all from Taylored Expressions: Summer Afternoon & Care and Comfort

Ink: Memento Ink: Rich Cocoa and Summer Sky

Accessories: Best Glue Ever, MS butterfly punch, pearls from Want2Scrap, Adirondacks Liquid Pearls (Terra Cotta), Spellbinders Circle and Scallop Nesties, Flower from Prima and ribbon from May Arts.

The center image is a circle of vines with butterflies and dragonflies is from the Summer Afternoon stamp set. The lovely thing about the Care & Comfort stamp set is that they can perfectly fit into the center of this circle vine (either directly stamping it into the center - or in this case by adding dimensionals to the center circle which allows it to pop up).

I stamped onto Choice ButterCream cardstock the circle vine image in VersaMark and then Memento Rich Cocoa and embossed it in clear EP and then sponged the edges with Memento Summer Sky. The image was cut with the circle nesties and then adhered onto the scalloped nestie and then the center sentiment was popped up with dimensionals. Because I was mailing this to my aunt, I really wanted everything to stick together really well, and so I added just a touch of the Best Glue Ever to everything (it really is the best glue ever! Wow, is it ever sticky!!)

I can't imagine what my aunt's sweet friend has had to go through and I hope that this card brings some comfort. Its always hard to know what to say - but this sentiment is so sweet and uplifting. Check out all the beautiful sentiments in the Care & Comfort set - they really express such beautiful feelings from the heart at such a difficult time.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hope you are all having a lovely Tuesday!

Hugs,

Sankari :)
