Enter the wonderful world of make-believe, where unicorns prance against the iridescent glittered designs of the Myths and Magic Speciality Designer Series Paper between a glimmering rainbow and Dazzling Diamonds clouds by utilizing the Magical Day Bundle and the Rainbow Builder Framelits dies from the Sunshine and Rainbows bundle featured in the 2018 Occasions Catalog.
I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this bundle once I saw the DSP up close. It is so pretty and ethereal. I decided to pair it up with the Sunshine and Rainbows bundle in order to add a sparkling rainbow for a unicorn to follow to where dreams come true! Fun! Right? I guess I had my niece in mind when I created this card; but I have gotten so many positive comments from clients who love the fun and whimsy. It is not a hard card to make and I make it easy if you check out my HOW TO video (click link) for all the step by step details and tips.

The cross remains a symbol of hope and salvation. What is more universal than that?
For the last couple of years, I have perused the catalogs looking for the perfect stamp set that offered a pretty cross. I believe the The “Hold on to Hope” bundle delivers in both simplicity and elegance.
Truth be told; I was motivated to create a sympathy card and I always struggle with those. I want something simple yet profound. I don’t want to overwhelm the recipient with lots of fluff or do-dads…I’m never sure of the best color choice …something subtle. Yes, flowers are good; but not very masculine. For me it’s about “hope”.
That is what I find so perfect about this bundle. There are so many occasions that can use use this symbol of “hope” besides the obvious Easter Holiday or expression of sympathy. This is the perfect card to send to a friend or loved one facing a serious illness, personal loss or devastation. Perfect congratulatory cards for a Holy Communion, Confirmation, Wedding, Blessing, Ordination or Baptism.
So I wanted to present some cards that I put together that can be used for any of those occasions and I invite you to watch my video tutorial for some tips for putting the filigree cross together. I hope you will enjoy watching; and please leave me a comment! I love feedback!
Gold Edged Ribbon, Whisper White Card Stock, Gold Foil, White Glimmer Paper and Gold Embossing Powder and both the Sea Side and Perfect Petals Embossing Folders combine (in my mind) to make a simple yet elegant Sympathy Card.
All cards are standard size: 5.5″ x 4.25″ in Whisper White and using my Proportional Matting Guide; layers are 5.25″ x 4″ for Gold Foil and Calypso Carol and 5″ x 3 1/4″ in Whisper White to emboss or in Water Color Paper for Brusho Crystal Color.
