Good Feelings for a Friend

 Sometimes we all have hard days.  Even weeks. And sometimes even months.  

I have a friend who is going through some rough months.  Without getting into specifics, suffice it to say that her health issues would make us all sit up and take notice.  Sure makes me forget about my minor aches and pains!  

Anyway, I wanted to send her a little encouragement so she knows that I'm thinking of her and keeping her in my prayers.

I thought this would be just the ticket:


I love the Rays of Light background stamp.  Make it subtle with a light color, or make it stand out with a deeper shade.  I stamped it here using the Stamparatus and Daffodil Delight ink.  Why the Stamparatus?  Because I knew I wanted to stamp it twice to get a little deeper yellow, and the Stamparatus makes it super easy to stamp an image over and over and it will always line up perfectly!  


And what's that greeting?  This super large font is from Good Feelings, a set with six large, happy sentiments that can fill much of your card front.  

The layer was mounted to a skinny layer of Basic Black, and then popped up on Dimensionals over another layer of black to give it a frame-like look:


then on a Crushed Curry base.

I sure hope this brings a smile to my friend's face - I know she can use one right now!  


How do you show your friends you care?

Last Day at the Beach!

 Today wraps up my week of Sunshine and Beaches, and I've got a card that incorporates it all:


This one is SO fun!  

Starting with the Rays of Light background stamp, stamped in Crushed Curry ink, it's adhered to a Thick Basic White card base.  


This little focal point brings it all together - the palm trees with the vintage bathing suits and a little strip of "island flair" in the background have me dreaming about a day in Belize, lying on the warm sand in the sun, with turquoise waters gently lapping while palm trees sway in the breeze...but I digress (or dream...)

The palm trees from Paradise Palms were colored using Stampin' Write Markers and cut with the Palms dies.  The strip is also a die from the same set, cut in Parakeet Party.

The bathing suits are from Sunny Splash, and were stamped in Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party, then fussy-cut and popped up on the Stylish Shapes circle.


The greeting, from Sunny Splash, is perfect - Starry Sky ink on Parakeet Party and cut with the Deckled Rectangles dies.  


I hope you've enjoyed my week of Sunshine and Beaches and are inspired to make a few "vacation-themed" cards of your own.   And I think I'll go lie in the sun (in my dreams 😊).

Sending Sunshine

How about a brighter day?  I've been sharing sunshine and beaches all week, and today is a sunny day:


 This card has colors that pop right off of the page!

I started with the Rays of Light stamp; using the Stamparatus I stamped it onto Basic White cardstock with Daffodil Delight ink.  The stamp is so large that I had to cut down my paper to 3-3/4" x 5" to mount it onto some Parakeet Party. Then it was adhered to Starry Sky with Stampin' Dimensionals.


Don't you just love these layered words?  Cut with the Sending dies in Parakeet Party and Starry Sky they are popped right over the sweet greeting from Sending Smiles.


A few In Color dots finish off the card - a simple but bright and "sunny" creation for a friend!
