Hi crafty friends!
Recently my mailbox had a couple of beautiful cards. One was a sympathy card for Tom’s dad’s passing from my friend Nicole, and the other was a sweet thank you card for a Christmas gift from my God-daughter Catherine.
Aren’t they pretty?! The card on the left was made from a Paper Pumpkin Kit called Gift of Fall, I think.
Paper Pumpkin is a great value; after you make the cards in the kit, you still have “leftovers” like the stamp set, the ink spot, and other pieces to use to make more cards, scrapbook pages, or 3-D projects. Paper Pumpkin is only $22 plus tax in the U.S.A. (Shipping is included.) If you’re interested in learning more about Paper Pumpkin Kits, contact me at my email address below.
This is such a pretty sympathy card. Nicole used a coloring technique with the Stampin’ Write Markers to actually color the stamp first, “huff” on it a couple times to re-moisten the ink, and stamp it on the cardstock. This stamp set Thoughts & Prayers is a retired, but classic set. Nicole embellished her card with small pearls for the center of each flower. Sweet!
Receiving cards in the mail is such a personal way to express sympathy or thanks or congratulations for special events. It means the sender took the time to craft a card especially for you, addressed the envelope, placed a P.O. stamp on it, and put it in the mailbox to be picked up, all the while thinking of you. That’s what makes handcrafted cards so special and unique! Thank you, Nicole and Catherine!
Have a blessed day!
