Sunday Fun Day: Sympathy Cards

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday!!  For this week's projects we are featuring Sympathy cards. Often these are the ones that mean the most to the recipient but are the hardest to make. We wanted to inspire you with our creations so please read on to see what designs we came up with to share this week...

  Up first is Rachel Yurkanin with this clean and simple card featuring the Birch stamp set. This is one that would be very easy to duplicate and to have a few on hand for those times that they're needed. And with the Thinking of You sentiment, these would be a great pick-me-up card that could be sent to anyone.  Please visit Rachel's blog here for more details about her project.

  Next we have this nautical set of cards designed by Debbie Naylor and featuring the Sailing Home stamp set. Sympathy sets don't always have to say "I'm Sorry for your Loss" and this is a good example of that.   Be sure to hop over to Debbie' blog post here for more information about her card set.

  Our last design for today is from Karla Anders, who like Rachel, used large background stamp sets for her beautiful card. These are Daisy Garden and Many Happenings. For more details about her project, please check out Karla's blog post here.

  Thanks so much for visiting with us this week!  We hope we have inspired you to make some sympathy cards.  Have a fabulous week and please check back next weekend when we share Boxes, Boxes and More Boxes!!

Beach/Lake Inspired

Welcome to another Fabulous Friday!  We can hardly believe it is August already.  It seems we just started summer and here we are nearly at the end.  Many summer destinations tend to be the beach or lake for relaxation and inspiration.  So the SIS designers decided to create projects reflecting this inspiration - let's see what they created.

First up is Karla's inspirational masculine lighthouse card.  She used the new Sailing Home stamp set.  What I thought was interesting about her card is the fact that she started with bakers twine to pick her color combination.  You'll want to stop by Karla's blog here for all the details. 

Next up is Debbie's summer beach house right there on the waterfront.  Doesn't this make you wish you were there now feeling the warmth of the sun, the freshness of the ocean, and the chill from your daiquiri?  Hop on over to Debbie's blog here to learn more about her project.

Finally, here is Jennifer's card.  She also used the Sailing Home stamp set.  This is a great set for the guys, or anyone else who loves nautical designs.  The uplifting message is embellished with an anchor trinket but still remains quite masculine.  Please visit Jennifer's blog for more ideas.

Thanks again for stopping in.  We love your visits.

We hope you have a wonderful rest of your summer - we plan on taking advantage of all that we have left.  See you here again next Friday!

It is filled with hundreds of samples with great layouts and superb color combinations that are great when you hit a creative slump.  CASE (copy and share everything) is a philosophy that we all embrace here and we wanted to show you how easy it is to take a card that you love from the catalog and have it provide inspiration for a totally new project.

  First up we have Karla Anders with her fantastic masculine card.  She chose a card from page 32 of the catalog - do you see how that great layout turned into this fabulous card?  Be sure to visit Karla's blog post here for more information about her project.

  And here is a more feminine card from Debbie Naylor.  She chose a card from page 41 of the catalog.  Don't forget to hop over to Debbie's blog post here to get all the details about her card.

  We hope we have inspired you to take another look at your catalog and really examine the gorgeous samples inside - you might find your next favorite card layout or color combination!

  Thanks so much for visiting us this week and we hope to see you back again next week when we share beach/lake inspired projects.   Have a fabulous weekend!!

April 2019 Color Combo Challenge

Creativity challenges show up in a variety of ways.  It could be designing a particular card layout, altering or re-purposing an item, or even just trying to figure out how to use a stamp set in multiple ways.  Today our challenge is represented in a color combination.  Sure it seems easy enough, but truthfully it is a challenge!

The SIS designers were given the following colors for their creations this week:  Lemon-Lime Twist, Pacific Point, Night of Navy, Smoky Slate, and Whisper White.  Beautiful colors independently, but stunning when used together.

Debbie Naylor created a whimsical wedding card featuring the Dandelion Wishes stamp set.  This is a stunning set and I think Debbie did a fantastic job using on this color challenge.  Hop over to Debbie's blog here for more information. 

Next up is Jennifer Rawlings' card featuring the classic muscle car from the Geared Up Garage stamp set.  I think it is interesting how close Jennifer's and Debbie's card layouts are this week.  I suppose great minds think alike!  Be sure to visit Jennifer's blog here.

Before you leave, we must remind you that the Stampin' Up! retired list is posted - the closing out of these items make room for more great things in the next annual catalog.  Be sure to connect with your demonstrator to place you last-chance order and get those retiring items off your wish list and in your hands before they are all gone!

Thank you for visiting with us today.  We pray every one of you have a blessed Easter Weekend.  See you back here soon!
