Hi Friends, I've had to make five sympathy cards in the past 2 weeks, and that makes me sad. I do like to keep a few sympathy cards on hand, but I must have wiped out my stash a while ago and not noticed. This first batch was made with some brighter colors - Sympathy cards don't have to be dark and sad. You can even put bling on them! It's okay!

The dots (Forever Fern) are stamped using Smoky Slate and the sentiment is from the…

Happy Sunday! I made some good progress on my presentation yesterday and then took half an hour to tidy the war-zone. How is it possible to make SUCH a mess in so little time??? Today I want to go down and play with a few new stamp sets that have been in my cave for a few months now but still haven't seen ink! Class is Friday night and I want to make something fresh and "spring'y" (as I stare outside at the 10" of fresh snow *lol*) Today I'm sharing the ultimate masculine/sympathy card…

I think these are the hardest cards to make as it is never fun to be making cards for these sad occasions - so I think having a few to hand will be a lot better. As it happens almost as soon as I had made these cards I had a reason to send one - so sad. Anyway, here are my cards: And here is my video tutorial showing how I made these cards. Just…
