Sympathy card

Today I'm featuring another card made at my watercolouring class.

Sympathy cards can often be one of the hardest to make and is inevitably a card that you find you need in a hurry. I'm going to try and keep a couple on hand as receiving that has been so thoughtfully handmade for someone grieving can hopefully give a greater level of comfort.

I've made the same card twice using a lily from the remarkable you stamp set. I've used two different sentiments so as to cover those friends that are religious and those that arent.

Here's to hoping I wont need to send either of these cards anytime soon.

Happy crafting (and sale-a-brating!)

Thoughtful branches sympathy card

Hi di ho peeps!

Well it's been a few weeks since I checked in here on my blog. The hubster and I took the boys off to Cornwall for a week and had lots of fun exploring castles, houses and the beach in between the rain showers. I've been enjoying the sunshine from my desk in the office (yes I'm lucky enough to be able to see out of a window in the office!!) fingers crossed the sunshines this bank holiday weekend.

Have you fallen in love with the thoughtful branches bundle yet???? If you haven't, I'm sure it's only a matter of time...but be quick about it, the set is only available during August, so you've got just under a week to secure your bundle before it's too late.

I find I never have a sympathy card whenever I need one, so here's one I've created using this gorgeous set and fingers crossed I wont need it for a very long time.

This card really sparkles, it's soooo pretty. Perfect way to show someone how much they care during a really difficult time.

I've made a little video to try and show you how much it sparkles as you can't really tell from the photo.

Everything I've used to make this card can be found in the product list below (click on the item to be taken directly to it in my shop).

Corner Garden with Blendabilities

I've been enjoying another episode of the bake off this evening whilst writing up today's post.

Like so many four year olds, my little boy started school today, such a huge milestone and he was all smiles when I dropped him off and he's looking forward to tomorrow. Fingers crossed he makes some friends quickly as he doesn't really know anyone and told me that no-one played with him at break time which completely broke my heart. Fingers crossed for day two and that he's even happier when he comes home.

Here he is in his uniform all ready to go.

I have another card for you today which is using Stampin' Up!s oober fantabulous alcohol markers called blendabilities.

I've always loved to colour and it's one of the things I've missed since becoming a demonstrator, but now I have markers to play with that co-ordinate with all of our papers, ribbons and embellishments and you would expect nothing else really!

I love the corner garden stamp. It looks like I've spent ages layering up the images to get the perfect layout, when it's just one stamp. I do love to cheat ;-)

Would you like to learn how to colour with blendabilities and get professional results. Well I'm running a class in Mansfield on the 20th September where I will teach you how to blend so that you can create cards like the one above.

If you'd like to join us, you will need to have the markers for the class, colour lifter and memento ink pad. If you purchase all of the items from me, you can attend the class absolutely free! If you already have the supplies then the class fee is £12.50. As always, I will supply you with all of the materials to make the cards as well as refreshments and calories!

You will need to order your supplies by the 6th September to be sure to receive them in time as I wouldn't like to guarentee their arrival in time after that date (although Stampin' Up! usually deliver within a week of you ordering.)

The supply list for the class is:
Rich Razzleberry blendabilities (131003) £10.95
Daffodil Delight blendabilities (130998) £10.95
Old Olive blendabilities (130999) £10.95
Memento ink pad (132708) £5.50
Colour Lifter pen (129369) £4.50

You can order directly from my online store, using hostess code: CW437Z6M to qualify for the free class or alternatively you can use this paypal button by midnight on the 6th September and I will order the supplies for you. If you have the supplies and would like to attend, just select the option from the dropdown list to book your place.

Happy colouring and fingers crossed for day two!
