Heartfelt Prayers

Monday, December 22, 2025

I haven't decided if I have used the PEACE ON EARTH stamp set more for Christmas cards or for Sympathy cards.

Here is another example of a sympathy card that I received from my up-up line, Jill Olsen, congratulating me for being in the top 30 in sales for October. (quite an accomplishment because she has nearly 1,000 on her team)

I changed it up to save on designer paper.

What Jill did was to cut a piece of designer paper 5-1/4" x 6" then fold it at 2" revealing both sides of the paper, then adhered it to a 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" Basic White. Her left DSP flapped open, and there was not "full" card

What I did was to cut the designer paper at 5-1/4" x 3" and another piece at 2"

I was able to squeak out enough pieces for my Tuesday class and still have enough for the sentiment piece. However, I only had enough for 8 stampers and I knew that these would sell out fast.

So I made a few more using this other pattern from the same PEACEFUL GARDEN DSP.

I cut out the darkest color from the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper using the two dies from Peace On Earth, and the smaller of the two dies for the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! says the colors are blue, gray & green, but I think (from left to right) is more like Cloud Cover, Misty Moonlight & Night of Navy. Either way, they are all gorgeous!

The darling dove die cuts are my favorite and I added the HUES OF BLUE FLOWERS. They come in Cloud Cover, Misty Moonlight, Secret Sea & White.

FOR EVERY ORDER PLACED IN DECEMBER, I WILL PUT YOUR NAME INTO A DRAWING AND THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE THE VALENTINE KISSES BUNDLE.

This will give you a head start on your Valentine cards

Today I am featuring a card that NO ONE wants to send

A sympathy for the loss of your furry friend

I used the brights collection of 6x6 DSP and the ALPHABEST Dies. I love that the alphabet dies are staying in new annual catalog. I use them all the time in my scrapbooking, and often of cards like this.

The "sending comforting hugs" was generated on the computer and die cut with a die from HEART SHAPED. I also pulled out a non-Stampin' Up! stamp for the paw prints and a retired multi heart punch for the hearts. On the inside I used a retired set called SO SORRY.

The embossing folder is called EYELET. You will still be able to purchase this in the online store.

This card was inspired by Ronda Wade

Pup Themed Treats for My Team

Thursday, February 13, 2025

Last night was our February Team Meeting.

Our dogs absolutely LOVE it when all the ladies come, and they are constantly getting loving from them, hopping from lap to lap. Everyone LOVES KATY, but Katy sadly isn't with us any longer.

On Tuesday, January 28th at 4:11pm Katy breathed her last breath as I held her in my arms. Oh how we will miss this sweet soul.

In honor of our other 2 pups, Lucy & Tori, and Katy's passing, I made these treats for all of my team members who came to the team meeting this month.

These treats are made from a 9 oz party cup and filled with hugs and kisses

I found a cute little doggie clip art on google to add to the front with Stampin' Dimensionals

We've also received sweet sympathy cards from my stamper friends
