Hello Sweet Friends! Sheri here today with a card featuring the April 2022 Stamp of the Month! The stamp set is called Church Family and is FREE with any $65 order. This is a perfect little sentiment stamp set to add to your collection.

 

Sympathy & Encouragement cards are new easy to make and I like to keep them simple. For today's card I used ink blending, a die cut and an embossed sentiment. I started off by cutting a little circle out of masking paper to create a moon in the background. I then ink blended with Distress Oxide Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade. I rounded a piece of black card stock to anchor my Cattails die in the center of the card. The sentiment is from the Church Family stamp set and is stamped and embossed witch white embossing powder and popped up for a little dimension.

White A2 Top Fold Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2")

Black Mat: 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"

Hello Sweet Friends! Sheri here today sharing a card featuring the April 2022 Stamp of the Month! The stamp set is called Church Family and is FREE with any $65 order. This is a perfect little sentiment stamp set to add to your collection.

 

Sympathy and Encouragement cards are never easy to make so I like to have a few on hand.  I like to keep the design simple. For today's card sample I pulled out a few supplies to show that even with limited supplies (stamps, black ink pad, card stock, embossing folder (to add texture), favorite coloring medium, and embellishment of your choice).

  

 Steps to Create Card:

• Create Top folding A2 Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2")
• Cut Kraft card stock panel 3 13/16" x 5 1/16". Next emboss panel to add texture. I used Spellbinder's Plaid Company embossing folder.
• Cut Green Mat: 2 11/16" x 2 15/16".
• Cut White Rectangle Panel: 2 9/16" x 3 13/16" 
• Stamp floral image from the Botanical Branches stamp set. I used alcohol friendly ink as I colored the image with copic markers (YG93, YG95, YG97) 
• Using embossing ink stamp the With Love & Prayers sentiment from the Church Family stamp set on a strip of black card stock and emboss with white embossing powder. Trim down to 2 5/16" x 3/8". 
• Assemble card. I did add foam tape behind the focal panel and sentiment for dimension. This step is optional.
• Embellish card. This step is optional. I used Clear Quartz Solid Sequins.

A2 Top Fold Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2")

Hello Sweet Friends! Sheri here with a Sympathy/Encouragement card featuring the Botanical Branches and Heartfelt Thoughts stamp sets. We all don't like making these type of cards so I like to have a couple on hand just in case.

 

I like to keep layouts very clean and simple and keep the focus on letting the recipient know that we are thinking of them.  For today's sample I stamped one of the Eucalyptus branches from the Botanical Branches set with alcohol friendly ink and did some very basic copic coloring before stamping one of the sentiments from the Heartfelt thoughts partially over the branch.
