Sympathy cards are always difficult. We often know the person well – or the family and we get emotional when making them. It can also be a form of remembrance and fond memories allowing us to feel connected differently. This is one such card.
For today’s card I have taken a leftover piece of Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP and cut it down to 3 x 4. I attached it with Stampin’ Seal to the Painted Texture 3D embossed panel of Basic White cut 4 x 5 1/4. This was added with dimensionals to a Thick Basic White card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. With the Friends For Life Dies and Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (1 3/4 x 4), I die cut the beautiful leaf, trimmed it into two sections and adhered the longer section to the card front with small dots of liquid glue. In cut a strip of Calypso Coral 1/2 x 5 and adhered it in place, grounding the DSP scene. I added a 1/4 x 4 3/4 strip of Mossy Meadow. The sentiment strip is 3/4 x 3 3/4 stamped in Early espresso ink – using the Everyday Greetings stamp set. I adhered this with dimensionals and added the remainder of the leaf die cut from the Friends For Life Dies. To enhance the gold, I attached three Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins in gold.
I die cut that same leaf pattern with the Friends for Life Dies and Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP. This was adhered to a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel. Another 1/4 x 5 1/4 strip of Mossy Meadow was added to the bottom – and the card was complete.
For the envelope, another piece of the Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. I stamped the leaf from Friends for Life stamp set first in full strength Mossy Meadow ink, then stamped again without re-inking. I think it might have looked better with the single leaf, but it was done. I’m hoping the recipient will find the card hopeful and peaceful and comforting.

Hello , hello – it’s Thursday and time for another fun hop with the Inkin’ Krew! We have a theme challenge today – Critters – and I chose to use the Fluffiest Friends Bundle and coordinated it with the Friends for Life Bundle to make this cute shaker card.
The DSP is from the 24-26 In Color 6×6 pack of papers and the color is Pretty In Pink. I cut it 4 x 5 1/4, then die cut this sweet heart shape using the Friends for Life Dies. While I had those at my fingertips, I also die cut the word ‘friend’ in Basic White and a background in Pretty in Pink. I adhered these two word ‘frames’ together and set them aside. I turned the DSP over, ran a Stampin’ Seal along the edges and teeny tiny dots of liquid glue to areas of the center of the heart, then laid a window sheet on top (3 3/4 x 5) – adhering these together. Using the Foam Adhesive Strips, I created a boarder around the heart, then also around the edge of the DSP, placed several of the pink Loose Frosted Dots in the center of the heart area, peeled the backing off the adhesive strips and attached a Basic White panel, creating the background to the shaker card. :O) Next I stamped this adorable fluffy rabbit from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set: Memento ink on a Basic White scrap about 2×2 and colored it with Stampin’ Blends: Smoky Slate, Light Pretty in Pink, Light Real Red for the cherry and Light Crumb Cake for the cupcake wrapper – and die cut it using the coordinating Fluffiest Friends Dies. I adhered it in place with dimensionals. I also added Wink of Stella to the cupcake icing. I attached the word friend with liquid glue. As a final touch for the front, I added three 24-26 In Color Shimmer Gems – in Pretty in Pink of course. I added this completed front panel to a Thick Basic White card base 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.
That thin piece of die cut heart from the front is a very narrow strip, but I added teeny tiny dabs of liquid glue to it and attached it to the inside of the card. I stamped the sentiment in Pretty In Pink ink using the Friends for Life stamp set. I stamped another adorable ‘fluffy’ – a cat from Fluffiest Friends stamp set – in Memento ink on another Basic White scrap about 2 1/2 x 2 3/4. I did very little coloring on it: Stampin’ Blends Light Pretty in Pink for the ears, nose and flower and Crumb Cake on the flower pot., Light Old Olive for the leaf. I added a single yellow Loose Frosted Dot to the center of the flower. This was die cut with the coordinating Fluffiest Friends Die and added in place with liquid glue.
For the envelope, another piece of the same 24-26 In Color 6×6 DSP adhered to the flap and trimmed to fit. On the envelope front… another adorable beast, this time colored with Stampin’ Blends Crumb Cake and Pretty In Pink. The balloon was also colored with Light Pretty in Pink and I added Wink of Stella to that as well. It gives a nice sparkle to the balloon!
I love a shaker card – they just add an element of fun for whomever receives it – and they are fun to make as well! These products may be found in the 24-25 Annual Catalog – except for the Loose Frosted Dots, they are an ONLINE only product. I’ll post links below so you can find them easily :O)

Hello Saturday! I’m heading home today after being with Grands for several days. It was extra nice being with them. Yesterday’s card featured grandson Dan’s card that he made. Today’s card features Jodi’s card. :O)
Off-set gate fold simply means one folded side is larger than the other, which is kind of obvious here. It could use a belly band but it does not have one. The colors in this DSP are so vibrant and funky fun. The card base is Thick Basic White 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 1 3/4 & 6. Fold both to the front and they match nicely. Cover the two fronts in DSP so the pattern flows from one to the other. Stamp the sentiment in Memento ink on a Basic White piece using the Layering Leaves stamp set and die cut with the Nested Essentials Dies. Attach to the right side of the fold with dimensionals. Add Glossy Dots Assortment in Gorgeous Grape and Melon Mambo – Jodi’s choice!
For the inside of the card, more of the same Masterfully Made DSP on each side panel. For the middle panel, Basic White 4 x 5 3/8, the stamped sentiment is from Layering Leaves in Memento ink. The sweet flower is from Textured Floral stamp set and stamped in Daffodil Delight. Adhere panel to inside of card and done, done.
This sounds like a broken record, but this DSP is part of the special DSP sale @ 15% off select DSP packages. Read on for more info on that.

Good Friday morning. I have an easy card for you today, that my grandson Dan made for his Dad for Father’s Day. Remember, I have limited supplies with me (only three stamp sets!) so no Happy Father’s Day stamp. I know… I should have planned better. Here’s his card.
I cut and scored the papers, he did everything else, including choosing the sentiments. I really like this card and know his Dad will too. Basic White Thick card stock for the card base, scored at 2 1/4 and 5 1/2. The 5 1/2 score is a valley fold and the 2 1/4 a mountain fold. it looks like this.
This could be an easel card, but it isn’t :O) The three card front panels are adhered together and attached to the upper panel, making certain the adhesive is only on the upper portion. The sentiment is stamped in Memento ink on a Basic White scrap using the Layered Leaves stamp set & die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. It was attached with dimensionals. The embellishments are the 2023-2024 In Color Dots in Moody Mauve.
For the inside… The sentiment was stamped in Memento ink using the Layered Leaves stamp set ~ on a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel. This was adhered in place and the 1 1/4 strip were added in various widths – Dan’s idea! I really like how it carries that DSP throughout the card.
Oh, and the DSP at the top of the card… I forgot to mention that. It’s 3 1/8 x 4 1/4. You can also see I took the photo AFTER he wrote on it… I didn’t think it was appropriate to share his thoughts here. His Dad is in hospital right now and it’s likely the kids won’t be with him on Father’s Day. Here’s another photo of the card.
This DSP is on sale right now @ 15% off the regular price. There are several DSP’s on sale through June – see below for more details.

Welcome to the happy Inkin’ Thursday blog hop! We have a sketch challenge today for our hop & I’m again using some new products I haven’t used yet :O) – Nested Essential Dies for one.
As you can see I turned the sketch sideways and changed the center shape, but it works. The Nested Shapes Dies was used to die cut the center image from Masterfully Made DSP. That was my starting point and I built the card around that. Crushed Curry is a match to the yellow and I splattered it lightly with the Light Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends. I ran a strip of Basic White through one of my new favorite embossing folders called Exposed Brick 3D EF.. I adhered this directly to the Crushed Curry card base. I added the Nested Shapes die cut with dimensionals. The sentiment is from Cheerful Daisies stamp set, stamped in Memento ink on a Basic White scrap and die cut with the shape you see from the Nested Shapes Dies. It was added to the card with a dimensional at the flat end and a dab of glue at the pointy end. The embellishments are from the Tinsel Gems 4 pack in Berry Burst, the largest color in the center die cut.
For the inside… I added the sentiment (completing the thought from the card front) three times in Memento ink on a Basic White panel. (Remember, it comes from Cheerful Daisies stamp set.) At the bottom, I added a strip of the leftover Masterfully Made DSP. This panel was added to the inside of the card and done, done.
I call this a masculine card, but it wouldn’t have to be. Remember, this is one of the Designer Series Papers on sale for 15% off. Continue reading below for more info about that!

Good Wednesday morning… I am with my Grandkids and today is finals week. Last night our grandson was studying for a history final. Goodness, I could not believe the questions – quite difficult. He’s done really well this week and I’m super proud. :O) OK… my card.
I used the new Gorgeous Garden Dies, which is another stand alone set, meaning no stamp set is bundled with it. It really is gorgeous.
I began with Lemon Lime Twist card stock and with Blending Brushes, added Calypso Coral ink, Mossy Meadow ink and Lemon Lime Twist ink, then die cut the piece with my cut & emboss machine. I ran it through a couple of times as this is a really intricate die cut and I wanted all the detail. I used little dabs of liquid glue under all the leaves to attach the die cut to the Lemon Lime Twist card base. Since I needed a sympathy card I decided on this sentiment from Layering Leaves stamp set and stamped it with Mossy Meadow ink. It’s die cut with a die from Cheerful Daises Dies, but I removed one end as I liked the look better. I tied a double bow and added it to the sentiment banner. The banner is attached with dimensionals. And the card front was done.
For the inside I used a left over strip from the blending done on the card front and adhered it near the bottom of the Basic White panel. I then stamped this beautiful image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink along the one side. I goofed just a bit because I don’t have my acrylic blocks with me, but I still like the effect. And this panel was adhered to the inside of the card – done, done.
This card looks so pretty in person and the photos don’t really show it off. I’m so sorry!

Masterfully Made is one of the Designer Series Papers on SALE @ 15% off… so I’m showcasing it a couple of times this week. And here’s the deal about this week – I’m not at home in my craft space. I only have some supplies… and I forgot some important items… like acrylic blocks (duh!) and envelopes. Silliness.
For today’s card I took a piece of this beautiful Masterfully Made DSP & cut it into a smaller panel (3 3/4 x 5). Then I cut it into strips: 1″, 7/8, 3/4, and continued down like that. I added all but the largest strip to a panel of Crushed Curry, wrapped a length of Linen Thread around it a couple of times and tied a bow, securing it with a glue dot. I put dimensionals on the back and adhered it to a Thick Basic White card base. I stamped the sentiment using Memento ink and the New Textured Floral stamp set. Since I forgot my acrylic blocks I bet you’re wondering what I used… I used one of the acrylic plates from my Cut & Emboss machine – clever, right?!
For the inside I added the largest strip to the bottom of a Basic White panel, then attached that to a Crushed Curry piece, then to the inside of the card. I have a definite plan for this card so wanted to keep the inside plain for my own personal message. Isn’t this DSP just so pretty?!
Now You know how pretty this DSP is and how now is the time to get it at 15% off the regular price. And there are other Designer Papers on sale as well. Take a look at this list…

Good Saturday morning to you – and Memorial Day weekend. A special thank you to all those who have served in the military – you are honored and remembered… thank you for your service and dedication to this country.
My card for you today is a fun fold – called Triple Panel Pop-Up card. We made this in my class yesterday and everyone loved it. This fun fold can be used with lots of other stamps & dies, but the request from my students was to use Zany Zoo and the coordinating Zoo Crew DSP.
Is this alligator cute or what?! That look on his face says delight to me. And I’ve used him to make this a birthday card. My card base is a standard A2 Thick Basic White. Additional card stock for the front is embossed Pumpkin Pie (embossed with the Cross-Hatch embossing folder from the Basic Embossing Folders from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES). This was layered onto a Pool Party panel and attached with liquid glue to the card base. All die cuts use the Zany Zoo dies: clouds, balloons, banner and the alligator. The alligator was die cut directly from one of the papers in Zoo Crew DSP. The balloons are die cut from scraps of Petal Pink, Lemon Lolly, Lemon Lime Twist and Pool Party. The clouds and banner are die cut from Basic White. The sentiment comes from Zany Zoo stamp set and is stamped in memento ink. I used the Black twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack to ‘attach’ the balloons to the alligator. The little back embellishments are from the Classic Matte Dots. Oh, & I wrapped Linen Thread around the banner for a bit more texture and masculinity :O).
More fun animals for the inside of the card… all fussy cut from the Zoo Crew DSP. The DSP on the inside is from Zoo Crew DSP as well. Embossing folder used is the Hobnail Embossing Folder from the Basics Embossing Folders from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES set of 3. Card stocks for the embossed panels are – from the top – Pool Party, Crumb Cake and Pumpkin Pie. The balloons are die cut from scraps of Lemon Lolly, Zoo Crew DSP, Petal Pink and Pool Party. The sentiment on the left panel is from the Zany Zoo stamp set and the embellishments are from the same pack of Classic Matte Dots but in Basic Gray.
For the very back of the card… this fun skater of a bird fussy cut from Zoo Crew DSP and adhered to a Basic White panel. This panel is for writing your very own special message to the recipient. :O)
I bet you want directions, don’t you?! The mechanism for holding the three panels looks like this from the top ~
Directions for mechanism:
Mechanism measurements: 3 x 5 1/4: score on short side @ 3/4, 1 1/2, 2 1/4
Fold score line and burnish
Fold ends to center, flattening and not overlapping
Add adhesive (liquid or tear n’ tape) to open ends, add directly to score line of card base
Panels will be added to this mechanism on opposite sides – what you see above is the top panel adhered to left side of mechanism. The middle panel is attached to the right side of the mechanism. Bottom panel is adhered same as top panel.
Triple panel dimensions/ directions:
cut 3 – 1 3/4 x 3 3/8

Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day!
Happy Wednesday, middle of the week. Hope it has been good so far. A friend of mine is going through a hard time and I feel really badly for her. So what do I do – besides call – I make a card. Imagine that! :O)
I layered a panel of the Hello, Irresistible DSP (ON SALE JUN 1 and an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE!) to a Basic Black piece just a smidge larger, wrapped a length of the Bordered Ribbon in Lost Lagoon around the two and adhered them directly to the Thick Basic White card base. Using the 1 3/4″ circle punch (ONLINE EXCLUSIVE), I punched two circles: one from another piece of the Hello, Irresistible DSP and another from Basic Black. I adhered the two together with an upper edge of the black showing. I put these two circle on dimensionals and added them to the card front over the ribbon. I added a length of the same ribbon, slipping it under the ribbon already in place, tied a single knot and scooted it close to the circle. I placed a glue dot under the knot to hold it in place. Lasting Joy stamp set has some really nice sentiments. I stamped this on a Basic White in Memento ink and trimmed the strip down to size. I added a Basic Black strip behind it with liquid glue and trimmed the ends, adhering these on the circle with liquid glue. I added three Loose Frosted Dots for charm.
For the inside, to carry through with the Basic Black, I added a panel to the inside of the card. I stamped a Basic White panel with Memento ink for the sentiment (yes, Lasting Joy stamp set!) and the sweet flower in Lost Lagoon and Flirty Flamingo inks. Yep – these come from Lasting Joy stamp set! I added another of the Loose Frosted Dots to the flower center. This panel was added to the black piece and the card was complete.
For the envelope… more of the Hello, Irresistible DSP to the flap and another leaf & flower stamped on the card front. Again, Lasting Joy stamp set, Lost Lagoon and Flirty Flamingo inks. The colors on this card are soothing and the words are hopefully comforting for my hurting friend. She tells me she saves all my cards and sometimes will display them together on her mantle. Isn’t that just the sweetest?
