With Deepest Sympathy

Good Morning, Stampers

Sympathy cards are cards the toughest for me to make. Do you make multiples to keep on hand? I make them as the need arises. It allows me to create a more personalized and meaningful card. I created this card for a friend who lost her husband last week. 😓

I stamped the floral image in Soft Succulent ink onto Soft Succulent

cardstock and colored the image with Whisper White ink using

a blender pen. Once dried, I added Wink of Stella on top for a

little added shimmer. I really like the soft, simple look.

Stamps: Forever Blossoms, Peaceful Moments
Ink: Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent, Whisper White

My Thoughts are with You

Good Morning, Stampers!

Sympathy cards are my least favorite card to make and this week I needed 4! Ugh. It's never easy so when I come up with one I like, I usually make multiples. This was an easy one to recreate - simple, clean and elegant.

What I like about this card is that I can eaily swap out

the sentiment and it works for other occasions, too!

Stampers LOVE My Kits!!

Dear Melissa I attended a local scrapbook weekend last month where there was another crafter in attendance who was working on your December and January Creative Cases. This was the first time I had seen anything like it, and I was intrigued. So, I ended up spending about an hour with her just “oohing and aahing” over all the projects and little gifts you included in each of the kits. The PDFs were so easy to follow and included simple instructions with lots of photos. I WAS SO IMPRESSED! Of course, my FOMO kicked in and asked her how I could get in on the kits myself. She gave me your contact information and I immediately signed up for the February kit. In fact, I ordered 6 of them for my upcoming craft weekend with my friends. We are SO EXCITED to dig into these boxes and make the birthday projects! It’s like a private monthly retreat created just for us! The kits are affordable, and the projects are so well-thought out. I really love all the little details on each of the projects, too. It’s so hard to find Stampin’ Up! projects for us “seasoned” stampers as it seems the company is shifting their gears to more “simple stamping”. I was disappointed in them until I saw your projects - they truly are one-of-a-kind, and we are so glad we found you! Kelly A. & the Missouri Stamping Sisters Manchester, Missouri

Really enjoying your creativity! Your projects are great no matter what level crafter you are! Addie T. Twin Falls, ID

I'm so happy I stumbed on to you! You have changed my mind when it comes to home-delivered craft kits! Amazing! You can really see how much thought is put into the kits each month. Pam D. Utica, NY.

I am so impressed with your Creative Case and More! I didn't know what to expect at first but you NAIL it every month! So much thought goes in and I really look forward to getting my box each month! Jill Y. Montgomery, AL.

I ADORE everyting in my Creative Case & More box! Halloween is my favorite holiday so I am patiently waiting the September box! Allie Y. Long Prairie, MN.

This box is absolutely amazing! This is Fantastic! You did such a great job! I love it! I will definitely be a permanent subscriber. Thank you so very much for taking the time and all the goodies. Karen M. Marshville, NC.

I didn't know what to expect with the August Creative Case & More kit but BOY WAS I SURPRISED! I was so impressed with everything; from the shipping box, to the initial opening and seeing the gorgeous presentation, projects and surprises! You truly "WOWED" me! I'm already signed up for the September kit! Alivia W. Lakeport, CA.

I am always so impressed by your card designs! It's hard to find a designer that matches my style. I'm so glad I found you on Pinterest! Rhena M. Somers, WI.
