Thoughts & Prayers

I was asked to design a series of sympathy cards and this what I came up with ~

Simply Scored ~ You are Pure Bliss

I had my Stampin' Up! Score Pal for more than 2 weeks before I dared to try it.  I'm like that... something new that looks potentially complicated, I need to be cautious; let my courage build through slow-cooking.  I've seen these medallions shared all over SU-land and finally, I got the courage.  This is a 1.5" x 12" strip of Twitterpated DSP (my new favorite paper).  I scored every 1/4" inch (or ever 3rd line) - there is a ruler on the edges of this grooved tool.  Guess what's going to become of my scrap strips now?

This Box was made using a simple pattern we'll be learning at my 1st Score Pal workshop.  I'll post the recipes and more samples after it happens.

These stationery box fits standard A4 note cards.
Paisley Petals designer series paper makes me think about my mother.  For one of my "Anything But A Card" workshops, we'll create a set of note cards and use the Simply Scored to make a matching container - I don't want to commit to which one, because I have a-n-o-t-h-e-r to show you! 
It's a work in progress. 

Florals For Mom

Added butterfly

My mother needed  all-occasion and a few sympathy cards, so I whipped these up for her.

This Stampin' Up! designer series paper, Paisley Petals, could have been designed for my mother! Those of you who know her, know I'm right.  :) The butterfly is from the Nature's Walk set. With Sympathy is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set.  Thinking of You is from a retired hostess set. Decorative Label punch in Vanilla and Bravo Burgundy.

I owe her a bunch more, but it seems to take me forever to design and get going.  :)

 

Card 3

Card Stock: Sahara Sand, So Saffron and Cherry Cobbler
Tools: Scallop Trim Border corner punch, campaign shimmer paint,  Decorative Label punch. Crumb Cake binding ribbon.

Inside flap

Card Backside

I'm especially happy with how I hid the ribbon that wrapped around into the inside of the card and the back; I didn't want to add a card stock layer to the inside flap or the back.
