Sympathy Cards

 I hope everyone is doing well.  We are in the midst of very cold weather along with some snow and the forecast is calling for a major snowstorm this weekend! UGH! Our plow is definitely getting a workout this year.  A friend of mine is downsizing her craft supplies and asked me if I was interested in some Stampin Up sets.  Of course the answer was yes!!  One of the stamp sets was Lasting Lily with dies and some sympathy sentiments.  I saw this idea on Pinterest and adjusted it to what I had on hand.  I never have any on hand when I need them, so I decided to make more than one.


Using the same idea, I made each card using different DSP and matching it up with coordinating ink.  I used my ML#2 from Gina K for my format.


I decided to alternate the main sentiments on the front of the cards.  Most of my inks are from Stampin Up but recently I purchased a few colors from Gina K.  She advertises that they have a smoothing agent and look different when dried.  She definitely is right!  What a difference between the two especially with these types of stamps and blending.  



I decided to use the extra piece of DSP to decorate the inside.  Never let a scrap go to waste!!


It's basketball time again.  Jennifer is number 18.


Finally got the ice removed just in time for more snow! 

Thanks for stopping by,
