Sympathy with IBS

Happy Friday Sweet Stamping Friends!!

I am on the Inspired By Stamping Blog today sharing a beautiful Sympathy card!

I struggle with Sympathy cards, just because the thought of them sometimes brings tears to my eyes!

Like many people, I usually don't have too many of them in my stash, but recently I had a friend who asked for one, so I needed to create another for my stash!

So you guessed it, my card today, is a sympathy card.

I decided to use the Flower of the Month: Lily of the Valley set for the Lily of the Valley floral image!

Such a beautiful image!  But decided not to color it!  I  think for a card like this, it's not necessary to color the image in! 

The top left tab is part of the Pretty Planners set!

Close-up:

And the "With Sympathy" sentiment is from the Fancy Sentiments set!

The purple satin ribbon is part of the Purple Ribbon Collection!!

IBSIC #46

Inspired By Stamping Inspiration Challenge #46

For today's project I created a fun little notecard using IBS's new Fancy Labels Die 1!!

Simple, yet perfect for any reason!  The beautiful frame is from the Flowers Bloom set and the sentiment is from the Just Because set!  Both of which are newly released!!

I just love the sets along with the die!!  So beautiful!

The inside sentiment is from the Fancy Sentiments set, a collection of beautiful sentiments!

I also stamped the single rose from the Flowers Bloom set on the inside!

This little notecard was so much fun to create, they would make quick and fun thank you cards as well!!

50th Anniversary

Good morning! 

Recently, I had a lady request two 50th Anniversary cards!

Something new for me, I have never created 50th Anniversary cards yet!

So this was a fun challenge!

I loved how each of these cards turned out:

I cut the 50 from one of my Cricut carts!  Along with the banner.

The beautiful Happy Anniversary sentiment is from Inspired By Stamping's Fancy Sentiments set!  I just love the sentiments in this set!

And the other one:

The "50" is stamped from IBS's Fancy Alphabet set!

And the main "Happy Anniversary" sentiment is from Stampabilites (FR1035).

Have a beautiful day!
