CHEERY Blossoms

Its been quite a week! I know its only Wednesday! ... Lets just say COME ON WEEKEND!!! 

Fortunately, these are not for family, but for colleagues at work the had some deaths in their families.  Its nice to get off the holiday bandwagon, and get into another occasion card. Keeps me fresh!

 I wanted cheery... so when I remembered I had this DSP, I just cut some up and made it simple.  I added some little flowers and a sprig of greens from the two step bird punch. Then I added tiny little pearls to the centers.

Its a pretty card. I think I achieved CHEERY!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Thanks for Caring x2

It is without a doubt the most difficult card I make... therefore I stick to simple, easy, with just a tad of a flare. When I do make them, I cannot ever seem to make them in a bundle, so they are waiting for me when I need them, I seem to make them on an as needed basis.

I chose the colors Baja Breeze, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede & very Vanilla because I thought it was elegant. And its not so much gender specific.  Using the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder on the Baja Breeze gave the card depth and personality.  .. or at least in my opinion.

I am actually using Grey as the card stock here, met with the Baja Breeze.  This is definately more masculine in my world, which is fine, as its going to this family, who lost 7 of their children in a house fire in Perry County, Pennsylvania last week. I grew up in the same county, and though I have been gone from there for a while, the quiet still mountainess air still makes me say "I am home", when I do return. Its a tragedy even if you didn't know the family. Its a farming community, and they are close. So without a second thought, I have gathered some cards, clothing & donations for the family, who are putting 7 of their children to rest today.  May god bless them.

It does without much saying, that Chera and sympathy cards, are not a match.

I do not mesh well with the elegance of sympathy card. So when the Occasions Mini arrived and  I set my eyes on the stamp set "THANKS FOR CARING"  - I knew I had to give it a shot.. otherwise, I guess I would still suck be lost with sympathy cards.  I get that noone likes to make them, but some really have a knack for all that elegance. Someday I will overcome this.. I know.

 The so safrron ribbon is your 'lift tab' to remove the center portion. This I liked when I say it in a magazine. Its not really a criss cross card, but rather just a card turned sideways...

The ribbon keeps the card together, but you could adhere the card along two sides- making it more of a pocket card.
