Thanks For Caring Stamp Set Challenge

This card was made with the Sudsol Stamp Set Challenge in mind.

I am experimenting with colors that I seldom go to and learning to use them more often. I was flipping through the DSP Regals pack and decided to use the Night of Navy stripe pattern.  Because the Night of Navy is so dark I just decided to use white as my contrast.

I used the scalloped ribbon border punch from Stampin Up for the trim on the DSP. I cut out the swirly piece from the Sizzex Swirly die.


I was going to leave the stamped image as white and I sort of wish I had but I will do that next time. I stamped the butterfly with Whisper White on the DSP. Just plain and simple.

Thanks for stopping by.


Here's what I used:


Stamps: Thanks for Caring


Paper: DSP Regals Paper Pack, Night of Navy, Whisper White


Ink: Black, Night of Navy, Whisper White


Accessories: Sizzex Die Swirly, 2 1/2" circle punch.

Thanks for Caring

As you may have picked up on in my previous posts we have been having alot of cold and snowy weather in our area. Last Friday a friend of the family was driving in a snow storm and lost his life.

My card share today is a sympathy card I am sending to his family.



I used the florish from Elements of Style to make a border across my card front. I then added the 5/8 ribbon to the bottom of the Crumb Cake. I stamped the sentiment and punched it out with the 2 1/2 " circle punch and cut a black circle to layer the sentiment on. I stamped and cut out the butterfly and popped it on top of the sentiment.



This is how I finished the inside. One nice thing about the clear stamps is being able to put two stamps on one block. Thus only having to stamp once instead of twice.

Thanks for stopping by.
