Although this card has a much more serious meaning. Looking back at my older work, I've made something very similar to this. This is a 5x7 sympathy card. I embossed the black panel on my scoring board. The heart dies are old from stampin up. The sentiment is heat embossed . I think this makes a very beautiful and heartfelt card and could easily be switched up for different occasions.
As I said in my last post, I love a good heart motif. I also really like birds, butterflies, and leaves, but I digress, this card is my rendition of this card. The design is the same, but I have changed the size, supplies, and colors.
I made this card as an anniversary card and in my fashion, turned it into a 5x7 card. I made changes based on the supplies I have and fussy cutting all those heart...eek. I copied this design (to a degree) of Nina-Marie Trapani on youtube. She was using a new Tim Holtz release. She also used ink blending. Like I said, I tweaked the card to suit what I had, but if there is a heart or butterfly involved...I am here for it. I was watching a cardmaking class recently and the instructor said she has to buy anything with butterflies. I feel that way about hearts and butterflies, but alas, I do not have the funds to buy all the things. Anyway, this is my card. I used a brush stroke stamp set, and a heart stamp set that is very old from stampin' up .
Still getting out my Christmas thank you cards as well as to friends who blessed us after Lillian came home from the hospital last month. All products used were from Scrapbook.com.
When a bookshelf shows up on your porch and you don't know where it came from, but your name is on it...you start to really wonder...hmmm, who knew we needed that??? A couple days after the delivery it was revealed to us who the gifter was. My heart is full. This is the card I made to thank her for her kind generosity.
I have learned through my cardmaking journey that I really enjoy stamping. My stamp collection is very limited and I have a lot more die cutting ability, so my card making often revolves around die cutting. A sweet friend from church likes to get card sets from me and this is the latest set I gifted her. I love butterflies and this is a layering set from photoplay that I got from Scrapbook.com some time ago. The papers are from an old echo park faith paper pad I got a Tuesday Mornings many years ago. These little square cards turned out adorable. I used Scrapbook.com ink pads and the white die cuts are from a pinkfresh studio die set I purchased from Scrapbook.com. The finished size is 4.24 x 4.25
