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.

Pink Thank You

Today's card was made using a pre-made focal I made some time ago using stamps from Greetings and Labels and matching cutting die from 6 Layered Labels and 2 Swirls (HOTP) and Personal Impressions Thank You (Inkadinkadoo).  I matted this on a patterned paper die cut with Labels Twenty-Nine die (Spellbinders).  The background was embossed using a folder called Rosa (Anna Griffin Cuttlebug).  To this I added distress ink (Worn Lipstick & Picked Raspberry) using a round foam applicator.

Inside I used a scrap of the pink as a foundation for my sentiment.  I added a die cut "You" from my stash (You Bless Me So stamps/die set from Divinity Designs).  I added a stamped & embossed "made my day" from You Greetings (HOTP).  I colored some of the background with the same distress ink from the front, added the finished pink piece, and a scrap of doily from my stash.

Floral Fantasy Sympathy

Here's another sympathy card made with the materials in the Floral Fantasy Artful Card Kit (ACK - HOTP).  This brings my running total to 3 cards made from this ACK.  

The only additional supplies I've used for this card are: a white card blank, black paper, and blue-green glimmer paper.  I used a stamp from the Stamp and Punch set from HOTP, a template from HOTP's Design Toolkit #7, and two different sizes of paper punches (to create embellishments at the bottom of the card).

Inside I've just added more pieces from the ACK.

Sympathy in Blue

Unfortunately there's a bit of glare on the picture of this card.  It's a pretty straight forward card, made using 3 mini Hunkydory die cuts.  I used dies from the Journey Rectangles die set from Fun Stampers Journeys.  The papers are from HOTP and the little hearts are punched from the dark blue glimmer paper.  The silver is metallic poster board.

Inside:

Inside is more of the same.  Stamp is from JustRite's Sympathy Vintage Labels.
