The card you need to have on hand that you really don’t want to make. The Sympathy card.
I cut simple strips of Coffee and Friends paper and added the Tim Holtz wildflower stem die cut in black cardstock.
The last step was stamping the sentiment in black ink and adding pearls. A perfectly clean and simple sympathy card. There are 3 sets in the Sympathy Series. You can purchase them separately or as a bundle.
Supplies:
White, Black cardstock

Sometimes you just don’t want to color. You want a simple card in black and white! Floral Cluster from Stamp Simply to the rescue!
I made this card 1st in black and white:
The simple black and white paper is Echo Park 6×6 Coffee and Friends. Its pairs will with the black and white stamped image and a touch of sparkle with Wink of Stella.
I did heat emboss the Typewritten Sentiment and cut it with the FishTail banner dies. After I made this card I thought it would be cool to step it up a wee bit with some gray
Same exact card except I added some gray copic coloring on the leaves and the base of the card is dark gray card stock
Hope you Enjoy! Happy Stamping!
Happy Sunday, Friends! Today I’m creating with the Spellbinders Sunday Sunset Drive Etched Dies from Expressions of Love Collection. You definitely have seen this fun Sunday Drive convertible before! I used it many times. because it is so much fun to create with.
The Sunday Sunset Drive die set is an add-on set for the Sunday Drive set. Perfect for your Valentines or for a wedding or anniversary card. Take a closer look at the couple. There are a bunch of hair and clothes combinations.
The sentiment is part of Expressions of Love Sentiments Etched Dies. A set of four thin metal dies includes the words: forever, yours, love, and you.
If you love die cutting then this is the set for you! I love how all the little pieces come together to form a fun scene! It is super easy to put together and if you don’t have a lot of colored card stock, you could also cut it from white and color it with your markers.
There are Halloween, wedding and Christmas add ons too.
Happy die cutting!

Todays card features Glimmer Foil Plates from the recently-released Delicate Impressions Collection by Becca Feeken!
This birthday card uses the Diamonetta Background Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and the Filigree Crescent Band Glimmer Hot Foil Plates.
I randomly colored in the diamonds in pastel copic marker colors and added some matching accents on the cake. I foiled in silver and added some Fashion Silver accents.
The Filigree Crescent Band Glimmer Hot Foil Plate are a set of 13. (I used only 3!). The plates includes a half circle crescent band, its interior design and interior flourish, a circle frame and its six sentiment inserts, and three accent motifs. So many design options!
Check out the whole Collection here:
Glimmer Hot Foil Plates are metal plates used in the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System to transfer foil to paper through a combination of heat and pressure.
You roll the Glimmer machine base through your die cut machine to deliver its foiled design. Refer to Compatibility Charts on Spellbinders’ website, to see if your machine is a match.
Happy foiling!
