Please let me hear from you!

This blog is for sharing a love of paper crafting. I love paper crafting -
and Stampin' Up! products in particular -
so much so, that I became an independent Stampin' Up!®™ demonstrator earlier this year!
Full disclosure: I get a small commission on purchases made using Stampin' Up! links from this website - but this in no way affects your price. It just serves to help support my blogs. Thank you in advance for that support!

As of January 21, 2026, most of my Stampin' Up! makes are moving to
https://cheringloveofpaper.blogspot.com/.
Most of my makes will be using Stampin' Up! products and be on that blog,
but any makes from other materials will still be posted here.
Enjoy browsing my blogs, and I'd love to hear from you.
It is what helps make the time I put into these blogs feel worthwhile, and always brightens my day.

Another Metallic Sympathy Card


I find it so hard to photograph shiny cards!  This one was obviously no exception!  The sentiment is stamped on a shiny silver foil die cut (Spellbinder's die using StazOn ink and HOTP stamp) and matted on a black die-cut piece.  I added metallic ribbon borders on both edges of the purple/silver metallic paper.  In between these ribbon pieces I put a shaded gray piece of patterned paper that my focal was mounted on using foam tape.  I never would have expected to like the gray as much as I did.  I've always tried to put silver metallic with metallic but the gray set it all off nicely.
