I still had a few pieces left over from Established Elegance so I put what I had left to use and created this –
You can kind of see inside – I had a scrap of the Beau Chateau DSP left so I put it on the inside since I only had one Top Die stamped. And that uses up my scraps! The supplies are the same with the exception of the base – it’s Pink Pirouette. Easiest card in the world since all the stamping was already finished! Enjoy! Hugs, Fran
No one likes to make a sympathy card at the last moment – but that’s what I had to do. I always tell myself that I’ll make up several and then it won’t be so heart wrenching. Good advice – never followed! So I cased a card that I had done earlier and just changed a few elements. This is for my friend who lost her father this week.
Supplies
Stamp sets – Elements of Style, Thoughts and Prayers
card stock – Soft Suede, Marina Mist, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, First Edition DSP
Ink – Jet Black Stazon, Crumb Cake
Stampin Write Markers – Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, Old Olive, Certainly Celery, Crumb Cake
Etc – Top Note die, Petals a Plenty embossing folder, Oval punch, Marina Mist ribbon, Dazzling Details
I am happy that my last time with her father was a wonderful time – he insisted on taking me for ice cream! Sweet memory. Enjoy! Hugs, Fran
On a training video, SU showed a card using the new Heart Framelit dies. I cased it! I love cards with lots of “stuff” on them- and this one suits the bill!

Here’s another The Sounding Joy card using black and silver – and Shimmery White. The black card stock on the side is embossed with the Striped embossing folder – but I can’t get it to show up in the photo. The Top Note die is embossed with the Snowflake embossing folder. To do this, die cut first and then emboss.
