I made this pretty sympathy card for a dear friend. I wanted it to be a special creation for her.
I used a freebie svg cut from Birds Cards for the swirly back drop. I also used a pretty new stamp set I won from winning a MOJO Monday Challenge. It is a Verve stamps-just lovely. I added some silky May Arts ribbon and a few pearls to finish it off.
I made a pretty box envelope for 3D creations using another Birds freebie.
I need a
crew to help me...I have been looking for a specific stamp all night!!!
Opening every drawer and looking through them 2 and 3 times. I know it
is probably sitting in plain site too. Frustrating!!!
I think I will call a truce for the night and hope it's hiding place comes to me in my sleep! Argghhh...
I am off to bed, but not before I pop in to say hello to Julia and a few others over at What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday. You can take a peek at desks all over the world too(and if you spot a missing penguin stamp-please let me know)
Good night-Sue

Glad it's not just me that does all that drawer opening thing! I always 'think' I know which one the stamp I need is in... Helen, 14
ReplyDeleteLovely Sympathy card- the hardest ones to make, I think. I discovered Birdscards a couple of weeks ago, I was amazed at how many files she has on there. Have a great week, Hugs,xx Shaz #75
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Sue! I love it! It's so soft and feminine! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. Re: missing stamp. Just yesterday I was going crazy trying to find a Spellbinders die set that co-ordinates with a Hampton Art stamp set. I looked everywhere! Finally found it near the end of the day under a package of special white card stock that is specific for using markers on. A trick I've used in the past: Put a glass upside down on the counter-it helps you remember where you left it. I've used this method and most of the time it works. My sarcastic hubby usually says "You'll find it in the last place you look!" LOL
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous card, Sue!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautifully stunning card and I am sure at a sad time it will make the person smile at it's beauty.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have found that lost stamp

Ow, wow, Sue! That card is totally not what I was expecting when I clicked your blog to cone for a visit - it is very different than your normal style, and gorgeous! Bird's Cards has some beautiful designs, doesn't she?! Great job on this one, girlie!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card!!! I don't have a cutting machine like that, but I love what you can do with one! Bravo!!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your stamp - how frustrating!
Happy Crafting!

ReplyDeleteSue x (MiniOwner@127)
Great Card!
ReplyDeleteI hope you found your missing stamp...darn thing...lol
happy creating!
blessings,

Your card is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHope you found your missing stamp! I know just how you feel, I have turned my stamp room inside out trying to find my Stampin' Up chef stamp, it's a favorite, and the very first SU stamp I purchased. I think it must have walked away somewhere.
Lovely card. Don't beat yourself up. You will find it. When my stuff is missing, it usually means my 15 yr old daughter has walked off with it.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a chance to check out my blog and desk.
Have a great day.

Hope you found the stamp you were looking for. You have such a nice neat desk I would imagine it will show up if it hasn't already! Love the card. I wish sometimes I had a machine that could cut svg files. I have a Cricut and a big shot, a big shot pro, and a Vagabond and can't buy another right now! Have a great week and thanks for stopping by my desk and leaving a commment! Vickie #33
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, Hope you found your stamp.
ReplyDeleteYour sympathy card is lovely. I think Bird will enjoy seeing what you made with her files.
A beautiful soft soothing Sympathy card. So very pretty. Hard to make when you need them. Know your friend will appreciate this.

Your card is lovely. And your desk is so neat and tidy. I bought a set of stamps that has lots of little words that can be made to make phrases. I can't find it anywhere.

Oh my goodness, Sue, this is absolutely gorgeous. I hope your friend is doing alright.
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous - perfect for such a sad occasion. I hope you find your stamp. Have a fab week xx #125

ReplyDeletethe peacefulness of the all over look. Beautiful sympathy card!
This is just beautiful and so elegant! hugs, Angela
ReplyDeleteStunning card! I always misplace things it's always like I just had it????? I get all mad and loose my mojo. Tamika #126
ReplyDeleteLike your card so much. Hope you find stamp you are looking for. I'm sure I spend more time searching for things than crafting. Anne x @89
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! What a beautiful swirly cut background and pretty colors. Very nice for your friend and she'll appreciate it. I hope you find your stamp. I've had that happen, too. I lost a stamp set for a long time and finally came across it in a hanging file of cardstock.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Sue, so elegant! Hope you find your stamp!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sympathy card and I love the envie too! Put some jelly beans on your desk, and that penguin will probably be lured from it's hiding place :)
ReplyDeleteDidn't spot no Penguin but I so do like that gorgeous card you made and the envie is pretty too. TFS
