Hello Everyone and Welcome to My Blog - Ink Up My World!
My name is Michelle Klieber and I have been a Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator for over three years and I finally decided to start blogging about my cards and projects. I also have my very own meet up group - so if you are local to Mississauga, Ontario, Canada then please consider joining us. The link is included below:

Now on with the cards I made today... I took my inspiration from Mary Brown at the Stamper Camper -
http://stampercamper.com/2016/01/08/what-i-love/ . I made my version a little busier and used different colours & matting.
Unfortunately, I seem to be needing more sympathy cards theses days. But due to the simplicity of the card it is easy to simply swap in another greeting. This greeting is from the now retired Best of Greetings stamp set from Stampin' Up!. I also used a one of the FREE Sale-A-Bration stamp sets from this years promotion called What I Love? Which is a great triple layer stamp.

Since the design is simple I decided to make a set of five so I would have extras if I ever needed one in a pinch.
Below you will find photos of my step by step process for making these cards.
 |
| So I cut down my Whisper White card stock to the proper size, which is 3.75" by 5". |
 |
I stamped the first layer in Pool Party ink - make sure you line up the little tabs on the
stamp. That way you'll get a proper layered image. |
 |
| Then I stamped a second layer in Costal Cabana ink (Retired). |
 |
| Final layer was stamped in Bermuda Bay ink. |
 |
| I then added in the long stem of leaves using Mint Macaron ink. |
 |
| Next, I stamped the two leaves using Mossy Meadow ink. |
 |
For the last bit of stamping I used both Costal Cabana & Bermuda Bay ink to add
in the little flowers. |
 |
I trimmed out the extra flower that I stamped the same way on a scrap piece of Whisper
White card stock. |
 |
I then ran the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush Pen over the two flowers to add some sparkle
(hard to see in the picture) |
 |
Finally I added the With Sympathy sentiment with VersaFine Black Onxy ink,
which is my favourite black ink. Finished off the panel with a piece of gold stopped
wash tape from Watercolour Wonder Washi Tape collection from Stampin' Up! (retired) |
I then finished up the card by matting it onto a piece of corresponding card stock cut to 4" by 5.25" - in this case, Bermuda Bay and then onto a piece of Thick Whisper White card stock base cut to 4.25" by 5.5".
I then added some small embellishments from the Rhinestone Basic Jewels to middle of the tiny flowers. Just add in a white panel to the inside and finished it off with my personalized stamp on the back and viola! A beautiful and simple sympathy card.
