I think clean and simple is always a good choice for a sympathy card.  But there are certain times when I feel clean and simple is the only choice.  At least for me, it was the only choice today.  All deaths bring sadness and mourning, but the added elements of youth and tragedy render me […]

I rely on this simple gift card holder so often.  They are so quick and easy to make and turn a simple little gift card into something a bit more special.  The basic holder is always the same, but it can be decorated up or down, for him, for her, for baby, etc., so easily.  That’s why […]

Today I have a trio of clean and simple, black and white, quick and easy, yet elegant, cards.  They were made with Damask Doilies so there was very little work involved, which is a GOOD thing!!!   The card on top is a wedding card and is 5.5″ square. The other two cards are just […]

Today we have a couple projects to share by Linda Duke.  First a beautifully colored bird image card and a little round beauty!  Both just stunning! If you’ve been following our Week of Monograms, we will get back to that tomorrow with more new projects.  And I just might find a some monogram “reruns” to refer […]

Today I have two monogrammed wedding cards to share — each very different from the other.  And there’s a little story behind each, as to the how and why of the design.  And as different as they are, the same Kaisercraft paper pad was used for both cards.  Here’s the first:   This card came […]

Today I have two very clean and simple sympathy cards.  Unfortunately, we needed one for today and I was out again, so once I was at it, I made two.   They are basically white cards, one accented with gold and the other with silver embossing. The gold and silver strips of decorative paper are from a […]

Sadly, I needed a sympathy card this week and my stash is once again depleted.  This card is for the passing of a kindly gentleman.  I always feel a sympathy card for a man must be masculine, but I deviated from that viewpoint a bit today.  After all, the card goes to his widow, so […]

Tonight I have a quick card to show you.  This card is quite large — a full sheet folded in half, so it’s 8.5 x 5.5″ — and for good reason.  A gentleman from our congregation is turning 91.  His eye sight is failing, so I wanted a large card with large sentiments.  Also, everyone […]

Linda used: Stamps:  Our Daily Bread Scripture Collection 9 All stamps in stock by ODBD can be seen here. Stamp Pad: […]

I needed a gift card holder this week and I’ve been itching to use Prima’s masculine pad – Craftsman – so this was the perfect time.  This is the same, very simple, gift card holder I make so often, especially for the holidays and also at graduation time.  I’ll give the measurements and scoring instructions […]
