Sending a Happy Birthday to My Bestie Featuring The Greetery Forget-me-nots Dies

It took me a bit to be able to celebrate Brandy's birthday with her and so I couldn't share this card with you that I created using The Greetery Botanticuts Forget-me-not dies.  I die cut the flowers and watercolored them, accenting the flowers using my Polychromos pencils.  The remaining images/die cuts are from The Greetery Pretty Postmarks stamp and die set which creates a perfect accent to these florals.

So grateful for such a great bestie.  We bonded nearly 20 years ago over crafting and it has created a life-long bond that only strengthens with age.  

Happy Birthday, Brandy!  Hoping each year is better and better.

Difficult Times and Making a Sympathy Card

I know that sympathy cards are difficult to make when the need arises.  So, I made this card using my The Greetery Caring Cross stamp and die accented with the Pretty Postmarks leaves stamp and die.  The Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxides create a somber pallette.  I'm pleased with how the card turned out and will hope that it can bless whomever ultimately receives this card.

Some Print Shop Fresh Floral Fun

Happy Easter!  We're home this morning finding Easter morning at home a little surreal.  Our hearts are longing to join in a joyfilled Easter morning celebration, but we trust in the Lord and render to our Caesar and so we stay-at-home. 

Because I've been stamping away, enjoying crafty time between working at home and caring for the family, I have another set of cards to share with you this Easter morning.  These were made used a plethora of The Greetery stamps include the Pretty Postmarks stamp and die set, Sealed with a Kiss stamp and die set and the ultimate OH MY! Print Shop Fresh Floral stamp and stencil set.  I'm on the list to be notified when the dies are in, but for now I satisfy my itch by using my Distress Oxide inks and create these lovely cards.

The sentiments come from a Stamp Simply Words of Encouragement stamp set and are timely and important to remember in these days.  We will find a way in our home to remember and

Be still and know that I am God.
