Mother’s Day Cards with Timeless Elegance

Posted on by darlaso

Creating the sympathy cards that I needed using the Timeless Elegance Designer Series Paper and Rose Wonder Bundle was so quick and easy that I decided to use the same idea for my Mother’s Day Cards. I usually make one for my mom, grandma, and daughter(in-law) but my grandma passed away a year ago this month. Having Mother’s Day roll around made me miss her so I decided to still make her card plus one more and share them with some other very lovely ladies. I did dig through my stash of retired stamps that I have squirreled away for just such an important occasion. A Mother’s Day stamp may not always be in the current offering and I have made a habit of collecting them! The font on this one made it dark enough to stand out on the background paper and the little fancy swirls fit in with the “fancy.” I love how both designs turned out! The Rose Wonder Bundle and Timeless Elegance Designer Series Paper are both “must haves” for your stamping collection! For your convenience I have posted them below and clicking any fo the images will take you to my 24/7 online store where you may add them to your collection today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sympathy with Timeless Elegance and Rose Wonder

Posted on by darlaso

Unfortunately, I had a need for several sympathy cards recently. I wanted them to be quick and easy to make and still be beautiful. I hadn’t really had much of a chance to play with my Rose Garden bundle and I still had this barely used package of Timeless Elegance Designer Series Paper which I loved as soon as my eyes saw it. Sadly, this beautiful paper is retiring and will be gone soon. Now that I have designed some really pretty cards with it, I will need to add to my stash and make up a supply of these cards to have on hand even though they are my least favorite card to send.

For your convenience, I have listed most of the supplies I used when creating this card. Clicking on any of the images below will whisk you away to my 24/7 online store where you can browse and purchase any of the items you need to CASE (copy and steal everything) this card. Thank you so much for stopping by!

You’re Just the Sweetest

This swap card was created by fellow demonstrator, Andrea Sharp. This is one of those cards that makes me want to shout, “Foul play! Foul play!” I’ll give you one guess as to why that is! This stamp set was NOT on my want list! But this, oh so sweet, card put it there! Does this ever happen to you?

Most of the items that Andrea used in creating her card are on the retired list which means the items are only available until the end of May or while supplies last; whichever comes first!

For your convenience, I have provided a supply list below and clicking any of the images will take you to my 24/7 online store where, hopefully, you can still purchase what you need to create this sweet card! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Do You Like Your Tea With Lemon?

Posted on by darlaso

This beautiful swap card was created by fellow demonstrator, Olive Barnes. I love the little details that she put on her card:

  • The tag sticking out of the teapot
  • The lemon wedge on the tea cup
  • The little silver spoon
  • The little tea charm
Unfortunately, the Cups and Kettles framelits are sold out. However, this card was so well done that I just had to share it!
