With Sympathy

This Sympathy card is for a sweet friend. I find Sympathy cards the hardest cards to make. I want the card to be respectful and appropriate. Most of the time, I just buy one instead of making it, for these reasons.

Hooters! Breast Cancer card.

This card is for a friend who recently finished reconstructive surgery after breast cancer. The owl is from the Cricut, Happily Ever After cartridge. Isn't this the cutest owl ever?

Tag/pocket

This weeks challenge was to use the wreath on Joys of the Season Cricut cartridge. I put the wreath on a tag and made a tag pocket for the tag to slide into. The tag is from a Sizzix die. It has been awhile since I stitched on a card, so, I stiched the pocket together. I love this paper, it is double sided and so fun and cheery.

Feel better

This card took on a life of it's own. I had a completely different sketch in mind when I started working on it. The inside of the card is posted below. I always wondered what I would do with a green flower, but, it worked for this card.

I had to try out this new punch.

It took me a while to figure this punch out, but, once I did, I loved it. Next time I will space the flowers farther apart so that the strip will go from top to bottom of the card, but, I only only had a small scrap piece of this cardstock to work with. I would have had to cut one of the flowers in half to get it to work. Oh well, live and learn! I love how the flowers "pop" out when you open the card.

All roads lead to somewhere

I love this little VW stamp. (I had to add a Mickey antenna ball!). I think this little saying is so sweet.
