Hello friends! How are you? What a mess the latest storm has caused across the US. Snow Snow and More Snow! Rain Rain and more Rain! We rarely have much rain; but we are making up for it this year for sure. It has rained already more this month than I have ever seen before and we are supposed to get rain every day this full week. Please drive carefully and stay safe.
I bought this awesome new CTMH Embossing Folder that I am in love with. It has an area with no embossing; which works great for anyone wanting to stamp in that area; plus it already has a design going across the middle. I also used the new CTMH Budding Peony Stamp and Thin Cuts set, plus the new CTMH Butterfly Friendship Stamp and Thin Cuts set. And the new CTMH Nectarine double sided cardstock with Nectarine Ink. Doesn't this look awesome together? And then I added my sentiments from the CTMH January Stamp of the Month "Card Captions" which has lots of much needed sentiments that can be used all year long.
I am planning on creating more similar; but yet different using this same Embossing Folder. I was out of Sympathy cards and it seems the one card that I need on a regular basis as I get older. A friend/customer of mine lost her husband on January 2nd and I didn't have a card ready. I made a quick one; but this was the one I planned to send and just couldn't get time to get it done.
I am using CTMH Swiss Dot Z4232 (the lower half is dots; but for some reason they aren't showing well on this photo. Also the top layer is the darker side of the Nectarine doubled sided cardstock and the back layer is the lighter side of the cardstock. It looks really nice in person.
