Here is a second sympathy card using Beautiful Friendship and neutral inks. This is the same pattern I used to make the card in the included video. I trimmed the main image down to 4 x 5 1/4" and added a thin mat of Soft Suede leaving a thin Whsiper White mat of the card base showing.

The Silver Metallic pearls and Braided Linen Thread tied in a bow were the only embellishments. This...

Sympathy cards seem to be in high demand and my stash is down to zero. I have a couple to share with you that I think came out very nice. Both cards are made using the same colors all neutrals. This one is my favorite, I like that it can work as both a masculine or feminine card. The trim is two layers, the bottom is from the Magnolia Lane suite.

I had an extra background made by applying reinker to an acrylic block hanging around on my desk so I thought I would put it to good use. 

This came out great. It is the second shaker card I've made using the Woven Heirlooms rectangle frame die and embossing folder. I turned the window into a scene with flowers, the sky and the sun. 

This kit arrived three days after my June kit. That has never happened before! My wrist felt much better and I had a great time creating alternatives. Video Length 28 min. 27 sec.

I really like how you can mix and match the Sailing Home pieces to make cards. This has numerous elements buts still comes across as a clean and simple design.

Here is another simple stamping card that I stamped on a Whisper White thick card base. I really love this Hydrangea flower stamp. It has so much depth to it!
