Life is Beautiful

July 16, 2017

I just spent this evening with amy son-in-law parents, a very sweet couplecouple, celebrating their 61st Anniversary. She is beginning to show signs of Alzheimer and he has been so dependent on her until now. Life is changing for them and my heart goes out to them and others in this same situation and there are many. I pray for those who are caring for them as well as for them. It reminds me of this card that I made for my last stamp camp. We forget how beautiful life is and how wonderful it is when we are doing well and how hard it is when we are not. I am thankful for each day I spend with you.

LIFE IS A BEAUTIFUL THING is Created with Colorful Seasons Stamp Set


Cut Whisper White @ 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 score @ 4 1/4 this serves as your card base.
Cut 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 Crushed Curry card stock. This gets adhered to the card base.
Cut Color Theory DP to 5 1/4 x 4. This goes on top of the DSP.
Cut a 4 3/8 x 3 1/8 Crushed Curry, which goes behind the 4 1/4 x 3 Whisper White.
Stamp the chair frame, the branch and the greeting in Soft Suede on the Whisper White.
Stamp the chair seat and the flowers on the branch in Crushed Curry.
Attach the 3/8" Mini Chevron Ribbon and tie with the Whisper White Solid Baker's twine and finish off with the Metallic Enamel shapes.
This makes a nice card and can be done in almost any color.

I’m thrilled to share how I created a simple yet stunning sympathy card using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper and the Prairie Grass Stamp Set. The delicate patterns from the Designer Series Paper perfectly complemented the graceful prairie grass images, giving the card an elegant touch during such a heartfelt time. Personalizing it with heartfelt sentiments made it all the more special. If you’re looking to create something meaningful, this combination is sure to inspire!

Some days these blog posts go so smooth I think I can do them in my sleep, other days everything goes crazy! This was one of those days. It's finally done! This card was CASED from Rachel Tessman with the change of several things. Of course that is allowed in the stamping world. We take each other's ideas and change them to our own liking and republish them. There are so many ideas out there to share. This is another one of the cards that I did with my clubs this month. It looks complicated but it really isn't and comes out to be a fun card to give. Be sure to watch the video if you are making the card. I will give you some trips on how to make it come out beautiful and download the FREE Project Sheet Below.
