Stampin' Up! Rooted in Nature

One of my very good friends lost her father-in-law recently.  He bravely served our country and was laid to rest in a National Cemetery near his home. R. I. P. Mr Brown.

I prefer to keep sympathy cards rather simple.  I stamped a couple of the trees on the card, then stamped and die cut a couple of cards.  I adhered one with Stampin' Dimensionals and one with Mini Glue Dots to give some dimension to the trees.

I know that death is a part of life...I just wish I didn't have to send them...

Stampin' Up! Rooted in Nature

I made this card to give to our pastor on the 30th Anniversary of his Ordination.  I cased this card from page 142 in the Annual Catalog.  I used the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper as a mat between the tree and the card base.  

I did a wash for the ground and the sky and stamped the tree and the greeting after the wash dried. Clean and simple.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Poem Suite

Nature's Poem is such a wonderful suite of product.  The stamp set consists of sixteen stamps and the framelit dies cut out twelve images! In addition to the beautiful designer series paper, there is a pack of 4 different colors of twine and some Leaves Trinkets for embellishing your projects.  

I wanted to do a fold I hadn't done in a while and thought the tree image was the perfect one to use.  To get this cut I took and folded 4 1/4" x 11" card folded in half.  Then took the top flap and folded that one in half again, laid my tree framelit in the middle of the fold then laid it on my big shot platform with the top clear plate only up to the fold line.

The colors and images are versatile for masculine and feminine cards.  It doesn't get much better than that!
